Tulips do not come back in the north either. I have a container garden (1500 sq ft) upon on a terrace in NYC. Some daffodils do naturalize and come back, but never to the strength, beauty and robustness of the initial planting. So after Spring bloom, I pull them up, dead bloom, stalk, and bulb and throw them away. Next fall I will then buy all new bulbs from Color Blends (I plant up to 3000 blbs in 50 containers in groups and flows), paying attention to those I love and reorder and always on the search for a new display of bulbs I have never purchased. Enjoyed your video, and I will hold your to your promise to show us in Spring PART II, the bloom. If not I will send the witches.
For planting massive numbers of tulips (1200!) check out the egg carton planting method. You can see it demonstrated on the Flower Hill Farm channel. I planted white lion daff last year and they were glorious. They lasted quite a long time as well so I'm hoping nothing disturbs them before next spring. Lovely choices. Can't wait!
I just placed my first order of tulips...I got 75 Angeliques to put in pots. I had Blushing Lady in cart and may go back for them. All these are so beautiful! Would plant 100's, but this 60 something can't do it!!!! I love the Lemony ones too! Deer are known to roam in my neighborhood , so I have to figure out how to protect them. Can't wait to see your videos next spring!
I just love how Tyler always looks at Brian when he’s speaking. I do the same thing with my hubbs ! I cannot wait to see your garden come Spring! Lemoney Remedy! I think everyone said that aloud 😆 That white Lion daffodil is absolutely beautiful!!
Here in the Pacific Northwest Camassia are a wildflower that have been a staple of the Nez Perce in particular for centuries. They do grow in boggy woodlands here.
Great presentation and beautiful flowers! I have an issue with voles. I learned this last seasons where I was planting Dahlia tuber to put crushed Oyster Shells in the planting hole and mixed in the soil around the tuber. Maybe that will work for your Allium? You can by it on Amazon. Happy Growing 🌱🌸💗
And you are such good salesmen that after watching your video, even though in is now 12/1/22 and I planted all my bulbs weeks ago, I just called up the Color Blends site and ordered a whole bunch more, including many of the bulbs you selected. And I personally blame you both for this.
This is similar to what I did a few years ago. I dug out a large area in my front yard. About 8 X 13 feet. I displaced about 6 inches of dirt from the entire bed and then laid galvanized steel hardware cloth at the bottom of the large bed. This creates an underground fence that the moles and voles cannot penetrate. I then spread a small layer of the displaced soil back into the bed to slightly cover the hardware cloth and put in the bulbs to whatever patterns I wanted. The final step was to fill in the bed with the rest of the displaced soil. I also surrounded the bed with landscaping rocks, trying to connect the hardware cloth up to the edges of the landscaping rocks. Then after blooming season is over, I dig up all the bulbs and turn the ground with a roto tiller, making sure to not tear up the hardware cloth 6 inches down. It was a lot of work, but well worth it to me. This has worked for me for the past three years.

Thalia daffodils have a wonderful scent. Pure white.
Beautiful choices!
You guys are adorable!

What a beautiful selection of spring bulbs. I can't wait to see them in your gardens.

LOVE hearing this!! 😂❤️
I love the color of your fence. Is that a black stain?
Can you plant your bulbs in chicken wire to protect the allium from moles and voles and tulips from squirrels?
