Members' Appreciation Day

Thank you for being a Pennsylvania Horticultural Society member! Your membership support helps PHS use horticulture to strengthen the region: planting trees, supporting community gardens, cleaning and greening vacant lots, and so much more. 

We hope you enjoy the different spring blooming bulb selections.  The options this year include a miniature daffodil, Narcissus ‘Double Tete a Tete’; a lilac colored ornamental onion, Allium christophii; a blue selection of grape hyacinth, Muscari ‘Helena’ and the later flowering, statuesque Camassia ‘Blue Melody’.  We hope these bulbs spark some joy after the coming winter.

Planting and Care Instructions for Your Bulbs 

The larger bulbs including the tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, Camassia, and ornamental onions should be planted 5 - 6 inches deep, and the Muscari can be planted 3 inches deep. The bulbs can be planted 2 - 4 inches apart. Bulb planting can occur from mid-October to mid-December.  Blooming will occur best when planted in parts of the garden where there is full sun, however, planting under the canopy of trees and shrubs that lose their leaves in the winter are good conditions too. The bulbs will start emerging in late March to early April for a full display in April or May depending on spring temperatures.
