The clumps should be dug and replanted every 3 or 4 years to insure good blossoms. Crocus varieties are grown in the rock garden, border, or in many bare spots in the garden or in front of woody shrubs. They grow 4 to 5 inches high. The bulbs are planted in October or early November, about 3 inches deep and some 3 to 6 inches apart. They will grow in the same place for many years.
Delphiniums provide a variety of colors over long periods in the summer.
They need well-drained soil and sunny locations for best results. They grow 18 to 60 inches high, and can be used for the border, for background plantings, or for cut flowers. The plants will rebloom if the old flowers are removed. Propagation is by seed or cuttings. Plant seed any time from spring to September in a sunny, well-drained spot.
