What are the ecological impacts of planting non-native fall bulbs in urban settings?
I'm passionate about biodiversity and the ecological balance in my garden, which is located in an urban area of Nairobi. While exploring the planting of fall bulbs, I've come across several non-native options that are popular for their beauty and ease of growth. However, I've been hesitant to introduce them because I'm concerned about their potential impact on local ecosystems. I’m mindful of the importance of supporting native fauna and maintaining ecological stability. What factors should I consider in terms of the ecological impacts when selecting non-native fall bulbs? Has anyone had experience dealing with the balance between aesthetics and ecology in an urban garden setting? I’m eager to hear how others have navigated this challenge!
