Annuals: Culture and Maintenance | Annual flowers live only for one growing season, during
which they grow, flower, and produce seed, thereby
completing their life cycle. Annuals must be set out or
seeded every year since they don’t persist. Some varieties
will self-sow, or naturally reseed themselves. |

Flowering Bulbs: Culture and Maintenance | “Bulbs” is a term loosely used to include corms, tubers,
tuberous roots, and rhizomes as well as true bulbs. This
publication will refer to all of the above as bulbs. Many
vegetables are propagated from or produce edible organs
of these types (e.g., tuber, Irish potato; tuberous root,
sweet potato; rhizome, Jerusalem artichoke; bulb, onion). |

Planning the Flower Border | Much of the excitement of creating an herbaceous border
lies in its great flexibility of design. In form, placement,
and selection of plants, the contemporary border follows
few rigid rules and allows fullest expression of the
gardener’s taste. |

Iris Leaf Spot | Iris leaf spot (also called Heterosporium leaf spot) is the
most common disease of iris in Virginia. It is caused by
the fungus Cladosporium iridis (syn. Heterosporium
iridis). Leaf spotting is most conspicuous on the
upper half of the leaf following bloom. Although this
pathogen is most common on bulbous iris, it can also
cause severe damage to rhizomatous iris, and has also
been reported on Gladiolus, Freesia and Narcissus
species. |

Fooling Mother Nature: Forcing Flower Bulbs for Indoor Bloom | Have you ever wondered if it is possible to enjoy the beauty
of bulbs in the middle of winter? The answer is definitely
yes! Many people are familiar with the hourglass-shaped
vase filled with water and topped with a hyacinth bulb,
or a low bowl filled with several Paper White narcissus,
and the popular boxed amaryllis bulb as a welcome winter
holiday gift. Most bulbs can be forced but additional
planning is required in order to have a successful period
of blooms. |
