Lawn Suite™
Specifications
A spring medley for the color-starved eye. The show starts in early spring with crocus Yellow Mammoth (300 bulbs in each crate), continues with daffodil Tete-à-Tête (100 bulbs) and tulip Scarlet Baby (200 bulbs), and concludes with Grape Hyacinths (200 bulbs) and tulip Tarda (200 bulbs).
The bulbs are ordered and shipped as full crates of 1000 bulbs, with each variety bagged separately and labeled. Basic instructions are included. Prefer to tweak the recipe or order the bulbs in different quantities? All of the components can be purchased on their own, along with other bulbs that naturalize in turf (please call to order crocus Yellow Mammoth). Introduced 2022.
Important: For a perennial performance, you must wait to mow until the bulb foliage has completely yellowed.
Note to customers in warm climates: Some of the bulbs in this collection require prechilling and are unlikely to perform well beyond the first spring.

Delivery & Planting Times
Spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall. They need cool soil to make roots before the onset of winter. Cool fall weather arrives at different times from north to south and from high elevations to low.
Please note that the temperature of the soil lags behind the air temperature. You can generally plant later than the windows provided in this map. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can still plant.

2. Mow the grass to improve the visibility of the bulbs.
3. Open the bags and mix the bulbs in a bulb crate or wheelbarrow.
4. Toss the bulbs out onto the grass.
5. Plant the bulbs where they lie.
Detailed instructions for planting according to Jacqueline’s method will be included with every order.
