Muscari aka ‘Grape hyacinth’ are short blooms that resemble a cluster of grapes. They typically produce 2-3 bloom stalks per bulb and stay less than 6” tall. They are a classic spring flower, perfect for any cottage or container gardens. They have a faint grape scent, thus the name grape hyacinth. They pair well with tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, pansy’s and more.

Foxgloves are the quintessential cottage flower. Their long floral spikes paired with their tubular flowers make for a bumble bee dream palace. I love pairing these with delphiniums, snapdragons, and bells of Ireland in the garden for a truly magical, whimsical feel.

Delphiniums are up there with foxgloves,  as some of the most magical garden flowers. They give that instant cottage feels to the garden, with their striking columnar colors of blue, white, and lavender tones. In greek myology, this flower translates to ‘Dolphins’based on their petal structure and color. 

Tulips? In Phoenix? yes! People are usually shocked when I tell them they can grow these beauties here in the desert. They are treated as annuals here, but they are totally worth the time and effort. I'm going to explain some crucial steps on how to grow these flowers for the best results and maximum lifespan. If planned properly, tulips would be the perfect addition to your valentines day bouquets.

Snapdragons thrive in cooler weather, Grop One can be trickier to start from seed than other snapdragon groups. Place seeds in the fridge for a few weeks and sow them in September or October indoors.

Pre-sprouting ranunculus & Anemones sounds a lot more daunting than it actually is, so I'm going to show you just how simple it can be!
