Sustainable gardening is an essential endeavour in modern horticulture, as we learned with Arit Anderson in episode 119, and one of the easiest ways to create a sustainable garden is through perennializing your bulbs.
Sarah Raven takes this week’s solo episode of ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’ to dive into the beautiful bulbs that can be made perennial, with a particular passion for the high glamour of perennial Tulips.
In this episode, discover:
- Why Tulips are among the greatest flowers to grow sustainably as perennial bulbs
- A natural recipe to treat your bulbs that’ll help combat mildew
- How to identify a naturalised bulb
- Bold, dazzling Tulip varieties from the emotive colours of ‘Artists’ to the standout sculpture of ‘turkestanica’
- Tips on how to plant bulbs and surround them for protection from the appetite of squirrels and mice
