Longfield Gardens Sun Loving Collections

These collections are versatile and perform beautifully in both garden beds and containers. If you choose to use containers, ensure they have adequate drainage holes and are large enough to accommodate the root systems of the specific bulbs included.

Because these bulbs are classified as annuals in most regions, you can still enjoy them in cooler climates by treating them as seasonal plants. However, they will not survive the winter in the ground if you live in a zone lower than 8, so you may need to dig them up and store them indoors once the first frost hits.

As the name suggests, these varieties thrive in full sun, meaning they require at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. While they can tolerate partial sun, you will get the most vibrant and continuous blooms by placing them in the sunniest spot in your garden.

These collections are designed to be low-maintenance, but they aren't 'plant and forget.' To encourage continuous flowering, you should deadhead spent blooms regularly and provide consistent water, especially during dry spells.
