Page Title Miscellaneous Remove geraniums, begonias, dahlias, and gladiolus from storage and plant if weather permits. Start tuberous begonias indoors. Fertilize rhododendrons, camellias, and azaleas with acid-type fertilizer if growth has not been up to expectations.

The Easter lily, longiflorum, is a very fragrant, long white trumpeted flower on a short stem. It is usually purchased in bloom at Easter time, having been forced. After the flowers fade, remove the flower head and plant in sun or partial shade in an area of the garden that has good drainage. The stem will wither and die down, however the plant may re-bloom in the fall. In one to two years it may flower in midsummer, its normal blooming season.
