Easter Garden Trends Add Fresh Spring Blooms
New and better Easter plants appear yearly in the trade with potted Easter lilies, hydrangeas, narcissus, tulips, hyacinths, chrysanthemums, and pink and white poinsettias. Lilies are shorter for home interiors while hydrangeas show larger blooms. Narcissus, tulips, and hyacinths remain favorites guiding the season’s display and outdoor chrysanthemums may rebloom in fall. Pink and white poinsettias emerge as a recent introduction though quantities remain limited. Carnations, chrysanthemums, snapdragons, roses, and gladiolas also offer strong Easter options suitable for standalone displays or baskets.
Easter Lily care and planting tips from extension service
Care tips instruct removing yellow anthers as soon as blooms open to prevent staining and extend life. After flowering, water and light are reduced. In mid May transfer to a sunny, well drained site, plant bulb top four to six inches deep in loam, fertilize monthly with 10-10-10 solution, bloom until August, and mulch after freeze.
