Also Solomon's seal, bleeding heart, and Tiarella. Mine are blooming big time right now. Take a look at my last couple of Garden Journal entries to see what blooms in my North Carolina (Piedmont) garden. I do a garden journal every week during the gardening season and most of the plants would do equally well in Richmond (VA). Karen Karen Nancy,

How about iris for spring bloom? Also Solomon’s seal, bleeding heart, and Tiarella. Mine are blooming big time right now. Take a look at my last couple of Garden Journal entries to see what blooms in my North Carolina (Piedmont) garden. I do a garden journal every week during the gardening season and most of the plants would do equally well in Richmond (VA).

There are profusly-blooming dogwwods, azaleas, lilacs and ground phlox, but next yr I'd like to have something blooming this time of year. In fact, what I'd really appreciate are pants I can grow from seed that would be blooming. Any ideas? In Richmond, the temps average 60-70 F dayly but often dip to the 40's & 50's nightly. Maybe larkspur or something else that I could seed in the fall for spring blooms? I will definately ise your ideas for late summer/fall seed! It’s mid April & very few flowers are blooming.
