| Abstract/Contents: | "Early spring flowering bulbs add color and biodiversity to dormant warm season turfgrasses, while providing nutrition to pollinating insects. When incorporating bulbs into the landscape, mass plantings are more visually appealing than a few bulbs planted in a row. However, establishment of flowering bulbs in warm-season turfgrasses such as bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) may be affected by the aggressive nature of the turf. A study was conducted over two years (2016-2017) in Arkansas to evaluate three planting methods for establishing early-spring flowering bulbs in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.; cv. Riviera). Bulbs included Crocus tommasinianus 'Ruby Giant', Muscari armeniacum, and Narcissus 'Rijnvelds Early Sensation'. Three distinct planting methods were tested including: 1) traditional planting, which consisted of a hole augured directly into existing sod, with bulbs being placed in the hole and covered with loose soil; 2) sod removal, where sod was removed, bulbs were laid onto bare soil, and sod returned; 3) new sod installation, where sod was removed, the soil underneath tilled to a depth of 7.6 cm to simulate a site to be planted with new sod, bulbs were placed on the tilled soil, and sod returned. Bulb emergence and flowering were monitored in spring of 2016 and 2017. Establishment with the traditional method was best for first season emergence and flowering. However, data from the second season indicated that bulb persistence was not affected by any of the three planting methods. These results suggest that bulbs can be established in lawns using various techniques with similar success. This information could be of benefit to companies which supply and install warm-season turfgrass sod, either in existing or new construction situations, and home or business owners who desire to add early spring flowering bulbs to their landscapes." |
