What’s Happening: Newport Flower Show

Popular Flower Types

Ranunculus (Ranunculacea) are striking bulbs that bloom from late winter to spring or early summer. They grow well in rock gardens, borders and containers and make excellent cut flowers.

Alstroemeria flowers have bright colors and a mounding habit that makes them suitable for beds, baskets and containers. These easy-to-grow perennials are long-blooming and come in a wide range of color combinations and patterns.
