LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, Oct. 7

Do  you forget where groupings of bulbs are planted after their foliage goes dormant for the summer? Use inexpensive grape hyacinths to mark the position of your other bulbs and avoid over-planting or slicing into them. The leaves of grape hyacinths (Muscari armeiacum) emerge in late summer or early fall and act as markers alerting you to the position of previously-planted bulbs.
