114 Tulip Bulbs - Hosta Companions Around Large Red Oak Tree In Back - September 2020
Yesterday, I posted how I planted 57 new tulip bulbs (yellow, orange and white ones) in our front yard bed outside of our front porch. The yellow was added to balance the color, the orange was planted to bring the count of orange ones up to par and I added a little white - just because. Today, I'm sharing the rest of the tulip bulbs that I picked up for the backyard. I decided to go with a purple and yellow (and a little white) color combination for the backyard. In doing a little bit of digging around, I've found that tulips and hostas are good companion plants. I've (mostly) planted my hostas in shaded areas - shaded by decidious trees that gain their leaves in Spring - and the tulips will come out early and the hostas, when they emerge, will hide the declining foliage of the tulips. In late June, I dug up, divided and transplanted about a dozen variegated hostas in and around the large 31" Red Oak tree in our backyard . First is 30 Queen of Night Single L
