Which Bulbs Do You Plant in the Fall for Spring Flowers?
With the arrival of autumn, it's time to start thinking about planting bulbs for a beautiful spring display. Here are some popular varieties to consider:
- Tulips: Available in a rainbow of colors, tulips bloom in mid to late spring. Plant bulbs in groups of 10-12 for a stunning effect.
- Daffodils: These cheerful yellow flowers are among the first to bloom in spring. They're easy to grow and naturalize well.
- Hyacinths: Hyacinths produce fragrant, bell-shaped blooms in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white. Plant bulbs close together for a dense display.
- Crocuses: Crocuses are small, cup-shaped flowers that bloom early in spring. They're available in a range of colors, including yellow, purple, and blue.
- Lillies: Lilies produce tall, showy flowers in summer. They prefer well-drained soil and partial shade to sun.
