Comment on Is there a Kentucky law against digging up or destroying the Goldenrod plant since it is the State flower? by raichasays

There are more than 100 species of goldenrod native to Kansas. Kansas Revised Statutes 2.090 makes “goldenrod’ the state flower, but does not say which one.

Some are protected species by federal and state law. You could not legally plant these for your prank.

Others have no protection at all so the school could dig them up whereever they find them.

Generally, if the law prevents the school from digging them up, it prohibits you from planting them in the first place.

Depending on how run over by weeds u my want to use some weed killer first. Then pull out all the leftover stuff including the roots. Turn the soil over if it is a large area rent a tiller to make it easier. Work some compost in. Plant to your hearts content just be sure that when buying plants check for light requirements and how big they will get. I usually put perennials in the back of the border so if I put in annuals I’m not disturbing them. Then u can put some mulch all over the bed to help retain moisture, use bark if putting in annuals it is easier to pull back when planting new next year and will break down to enrich the soil over time.

Yes you can mix periennials with annuals, they are all the same, just one needs to be replanted each year, the other comes up on its own.

First pull all the weeds and dig and turn up dirt. Thus loosening it and breaking up any clumps. Depending on how far down the brick goes you might want to get some edgeing that will help stop grass from coming into your flower bed, from under the brick. YOu can now add some peat moss, this helps to hold moisture in the soil, and work it in to your top soil or existing soil. Now figure out what kind of plants and plant. You already have singled out the ones that take full shade so look at plants that do well with lots of sun. Now you might want tall in the back and shorter in the front, or maybe all one similar height. Thinking of these things will make it much easier. YOu also will have a lot of sudden inspirtation when looking at plants in the nursery. Good luck and i Hope this helped!

Dahlias are not a bulb but can be planted in Spring and will put out a profusion of flowers. Freesai might also do this depending on where you live. The Dahlia is more like a tuber.

Go to your local garden center. All the summer bulbs have arrived.The spring-flowering bulbs need to be planted in the fall, though.

There are a lot of things you can plant in Michigan, just ask the folks at Michigan Bulb Co. The real question is, how much sun, moisture, and what kind of soil do you have? Glads are easy and usually reproduce to the point of being weedy. Was the ground soggy? Did it have full sun? Did you plant them too deep? You can try cannas, callas, dahlias, iris, elephant’s ear (ok that’s just leaves), some narcissus, and others. Note, some of these are technically rhizomes and not bulbs, but kinda sorta fit what you’re asking.

Get the tiny flower pots, put styrofoam in them, stick a green chenille stem ( Pipe cleaner) with a few leaves cut out of green construction paper glued on into the styrofoan, then tape the seed packet at the top of the stem to look like a flower in a pot.
