Are there any flowers I can plant to spell out a name? I would like them to bloom in spring. Any ideas?

I would like to surprise my fiance with our names spelled out in flowers if its possible.

You could use any bulb. Tulips, Daffodils, Hyacinths.
Reply:I would use marigolds ;-)
Reply:I think that the best bet would be to purchase flowers in flats. Something low growing. Look around at some of the parks in your area and see what they are using.
Reply:Tulips would work out well, pick out a background color,


like white or yellow, then pick your accent color, red, pink


whatever colors you like. Then mark out on your garden


plot the shape for the names, plant those tulips first-


then fill in around them with your background color bulbs.


Tulips are fairly reliable with their blooming times, so


you will be more likely to have them bud out and bloom at


about the same time, that way your plan will work out.
Reply:Daffodils are also beautiful and are one of the first spring flowers to bloom...they come in different colors too
Reply:crocrus - they are short flowers (a couple inches) that pop up in early spring/late winter - they have even been known to pop up out of the snow. I really like them and they might work great for something like that since they are little and they come in a couple different colors.
Reply:flower bed designers often use Cosmos because they stay relatively where you put them, are bright, and are low to the ground and cost effective. They bloom later though. how early spring? maybe crocus would do.
Reply:Miniature red tulips. They bloom early and are spectacular.
Reply:I am not sure.. really sorry, but... Thats a way way cute idea, thats creative!
