Grape Hyacinth

May 1st, 2008 by

Grape Hyacinth, Dianthus, Black-Eyed Susan, Phlox
It is relaxing to start one’s day with a garden photo. In front are grape hyacinth, a bulb that one plants in the fall. Directly behind are dianthus plants, perennials that will soon bloom. Toward the back is a promising beginning of a black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia), a perennial native to New Jersey that may show its yellow flowers in August. The background is creeping phlox.

    Do these grow in Israel as well? Always interesting to find out the “international” plants.
