   Saturday, November 8,  2025,      "Fall Harvest Market" -  Luray United Methodist Church

Flower bulbs are beloved for their easy care and vast variety.   We'll be selling tulips, daffodils, and other spring beauties that are some of the lowest-maintenance plants in your garden.  With just a little planning, you can enjoy years of flourishing bulbs—many species even naturalize and multiply. 

Spring flowering bulbs need a cold period during the winter to jump-start their growth cycle so that they will flower in the spring. They are planted in the fall before until a little after the first frost. In general, spring flowering bulbs will grow best in climate zones 4-8. Spring flowering bulbs normally start blooming in February and end in June.

Planting one straight row of evenly spaced bulbs often looks sparse. Planting in quantity in non-linear patterns will always give a richer appearance. Mass planting has always been the traditional way to use bulbs. Mass plantings can include dozens or even hundreds of bulbs—especially if you do a naturalizing project. 

If you don't have room for mass planting, or need to start small, a reliable way is to plant in clumps of 6 or more bulbs. We will be selling bags of 10 bulbs.  In the clump, space your bulbs about 4 or more inches apart.
