TALL BEARDED IRIS AND COMPANION PLANTS IN THE EARLY SPRING GARDEN


I love spring! Walking around the yard today, the spring perennials are starting to leaf out. The iris fans are beautiful, and are about 4-12 inches high. The peony stems are poking out of the soil, some even up to 12 inches tall. The delphinium, foxglove, poppies, daylilies, lupine, and tree peonies are also greening up nicely. The hellebore's are in full bloom, as well as the early daffodils, pansies, primrose and hyacinths. Other bulbs--crown imperials, tulips, and allium, are getting taller and more full. The pussy willow's have exploded into beautiful puffs, and the forsythia's yellow blooms are beginning to unfurl. In another two-three weeks, there will be some great color in the flower beds, and hard to believe that in another two months the iris will be blooming along with their companion plants in the beds.
