 Big, Bold and Hot!
Summer Bulb Standouts
     February 25, 10am - noon
   
  
Colocasia 'Mojito'
One of Barb Pierson's faves: Colocasia esculenta 'Mojito' (Imperial taro, Elephant's-ear) may be the most hip colocasia to date. Its leaves are 14" long and are arrowhead-shaped, demanding attention wherever it is planted.
Please join us as we welcome Barb Pierson, Nursery Manager for White Flower Farm Nursery for a lecture/discussion on summer bulb standouts.
Learn about the best of the bunch and see why summer bulbs are among the most exotic and exicting plants in our gardens. This lecture will cover tips for growing and storing, and Barb will be bringing some great varieties for sale following the lecture.
