Dear Gardeners:

A big, heart-shaped box of candy is the traditional Valentine gift. But this year, why not choose a calorie-free treat for the one you love? A dozen roses are pretty, but they only last a week or two. Our beautiful bulbs and bare-root perennials make perfect gifts for every gardener. Year after year these delectable posies will delight the gardener and remind him or her of the enduring love of the giver.

Choose from among our collection of fun, sweetly-named flowers or search our catalog for plants with their own special meaning to you and your loved one.

• Spell out your loved one's name ("Sara" = Salvia, Astilbe, Rose, and Aquilegia)
• Find the flowers that were in your wedding bouquet
• Look for plants that are your sweetie's favorite color
• or even create a secret message with the names of the cultivars. For example, use the plants below to fill in the blanks in this Valentine message:

"My ______ ____ is ____ __ ___ __ and when she gives me a _____ it sends me right over the ____ __ ___! She's an _____ _____ and ____ ______ couldn't keep me away!"

• Daylily 'Cute as Can Be'
• Daylily 'Wild Horses'
• Dahlia 'Edge of Joy'
• Hosta 'Earth Angel'
• Hybrid Lily 'Touch'
• Oriental Lily 'Lovely Girl'

Happy Gardening,
The Bulb Lady®
