How to Grow a Bulb-A-Month Indoors for a Year of Flowering Houseplants his is a a guide to growing a bulb for every month of the year so that readers can enjoy fragrant, beautiful blossoms year round. Flamboyant amaryllis and sweetly scented Freesia brighten up dark winter days, flirtatious Lily of the Valley welcomes spring, Wood Sorrel and Meadow Saffron herald summer, and Autumn Crocus lightens the chill of autumn. Every month a new bulb will burst into glorious bloom. The book presents a satisfying, easy-to-follow schedule for forcing a bulb-a-month indoors all year long. It also explains when to order bulbs, when to plant, water, and feed them, and even when to rest your bulbs so that they may bloom again. The author also suggests imaginative ways to plant and display each bulb: an indoor English garden of Autumn crocus growing in a basket, a terra-cotta sconce with a cascade of Lily of the Valley, or for the tall-stemmed Fairy Bells, a pot nestled inside a decorative umbrella stand.
