As the days get shorter, we spend more time indoors. And we're all starting to think about the holiday season ahead of us.
One way to beautify your home - and bring the garden indoors - is to fill it with stunning displays of paperwhites and amaryllis. These bulbs are easy to grow and produce gorgeous flowers within 4 to 8 weeks. So the time to plant them is now!
Learn how to create your own fabulous displays at one of our workshops. There's still time to sign up.

Now that we've got you thinking about Christmas, why not think a little further ahead to spring! It's just around the corner in our mild climate.
Now is the time to plant spring-flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, fritilarias and others. Dig This has a great supply of bulbs, so plant them now to enjoy as early as next January!

These are just some of the varieties of Amaryllis we are stocking this year. Some bloom in as few as 5 weeks, and some will have 3 or more stalks of striking flowers. Amaryllis is one of the easiest plants to grow - and at Dig This, we'll even plant the bulbs for you, if you like. Plant them now for flowers in mid to late December.
