Galanthus

Posted in Linden Hill News and Notes, Uncategorized, What's New At Linden Hill, tagged , , , , , , on February 10, 2011 |

Today at Linden Hill, in the greenhouse, we have a little promise of and peek at spring: almost blooming galanthus nivalis!

Last fall, in preparation for the Philadelphia Flower Show, Luke, Jerry and I planted thousands of galanthus bulbs in several locations at the farm- many in the ground, and many more in aged terracotta pots.  We have been meticulously checking their progress and watering them (as snowdrops do not like to dry out). The galanthus are now in various stages of growth, from just poking out of the soil to blooming.

One of Jerry Fritz’s passions and favorite plants are Galanthus (Snowdrops). ‘Galanthus mania’ began when he first saw the wonderous and stunning masses of them at the Royal Horticultural Society in England. He has now started a dedicated club: The Galanthus Group of the Delaware Valley, to discuss and enjoy all things galanthus.

Galanthus (snowdrops) look spectacular when planted with eranthis hyemalis (winter aconite) and helleborus.

A few of the varieties growing at Linden Hill are:

Galanthus nivalis, Galanthus nivalis ‘Flore Pleno’ & ‘Sam Arnott’ & ‘Viridapice’, Galanthus ikariae, Galanthus elwesii, Galanthus ‘White Dream’

If you are interested in joining The Galanthus Group of the Delaware Valley or in pre-ordering snowdrops, send an email to info@lindenhillgardens.com

A Letter From Linden Hill

Posted in Linden Hill News and Notes, Uncategorized, What's New At Linden Hill on November 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Iris 'Gerald Darby'

The first monochromatic planting at Linden Hill is complete: The Blue Garden is situated on the right side of the entry drive amongst five Dawn Redwoods, and features a walking path.  We planted every blue/purple- blooming perennial at the nursery, beginning with several varieties of Salvia, Nepeta and Veronica. Other plants include Aster, Camassia, Thalictrum, Campanula, Iris, Kalimeris and those with blue foliage such as Sorghastrum nutans and Rosa glauca. We invite you this spring to enjoy the many different hues and variations within the spectrum of “Blue”.

 The critters are hungry!….This week, We have been occupied cutting back perennials in the gardens..the mice and voles have been eating, nesting and tunneling more than ever this year. Their first choice was Iris ensata ’Variegata’ in the front beds. (Thank goodness we had divided and potted up several in the summer!). We have been cutting the remaining iris down to the ground level, as well as most other perennials – hopefully, this will deter the critters. It is an important  time in the season to spray deer repellent, too -our top choices are Neptune’s Harvest Fish Fertilizer or Liquid Fence.

 

We encourage you to come over to Linden Hill and make a terrarium to enjoy over the winter, or to give as a holiday present to a friend or family member. We have all of the supplies- beautiful cloches and vessels, super plants and an ample and comfortable work space in our greenhouse. Read an article about our terrarium workshop last month in The Bucks County Herald on page 22. 

 

Three upcoming events of note:
