27. The beauty of perennial southern bulbs -- with Chris Wiesinger, The Bulb Hunter

Chris Wiesinger is the owner of The Southern Bulb Company
(https://www.southernbulbs.com/) in Golden, Texas and co-author
of The Bulb Hunter. 


In this episode, we have a really fun conversation with Chris
about how he got interested in bulbs, the journey of how his name
evolved from The Bulb Boy to The Bulb Hunter after being featured
in a New York Times article, and how important native, perennial
bulbs are to the southern ecosystems. He talks about his
experience hunting for bulbs and sharing the love of perennial
bulbs through his company. Chris and the team at The Sourthern
Bulb Company seek to "recapture something that was once 'lost' to
the Southern gardener: bulbs that thrive in warm climates, many
of which are heirloom and rare flower bulbs."


We hope you enjoy our conversation with Chris as much as we
did!
