Plant seed in the spring or summer. Seed germinates in about 15 days. Useful for spring flowers, the Narcissus family grows 3 to 20 inches high. Plant bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep and 4 to 8 inches apart in September and October. They should be dug and replanted every 3 to 4 years to prevent overcrowding.
Peonies have beautiful flowers and foliage.
They grow about 24 to 48 inches high and about equally wide. They can be grown by themselves or with other perennials in the border. They require rich, heavy soil that is well drained. Peonies should not be moved except for dividing and replanting. They are usually propagated by division of the clumps.
