Spring Bulbs may be the easiest plants you\u2019ll ever grow. Each contains next spring\u2019s flower already tucked away in its heart. Planted this fall, the bulbs will produce roots as this year\u2019s garden fades away. They\u2019ll be ready to burst into bloom as soon as winter retreats \u2013 or even earlier, in a few cases. With a little planning, it\u2019s possible to orchestrate a sequence of blooms that last for several months and overlap the early perennials for a stunning spring display. For most bulbs, the show is beautiful the first year \u2013 and keeps getting bigger and better in following springs.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Works Daffodil Mix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Daffodils<\/strong><\/a>, of course, are the first large flowers of spring with their bright colors especially welcome after winter\u2019s dreariness. Deer-resistant and long-lived, most varieties continue to multiply for years, even decades. Some are fragrant, especially the Jonquils. To extend the bloom time, try the earliest Trumpets followed by the midseason Large-cupped, then the later blooming Poeticus varieties. The Works<\/strong><\/a> has examples from all these groups, if choosing yourself seems too daunting at first.<\/p>\n

\"Galanthus<\/a>
Galanthus Nivalis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But Daffodils aren\u2019t the first bulbs to appear. Especially if you live where winter seems endless, try adding at least a few handfuls of the early blooming bulbs that will remind you spring is on its way. Galanthus (Snowdrops)<\/strong><\/a>, Crocus chrysanthus<\/strong><\/a>, and Iris reticulata<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are small but they create a big impact when nothing else is blooming in the garden. These bulbs are tiny and even several dozen can be planted in no time at all. Choose a spot you\u2019re likely to see every day, such as near your main entry or a flowerbed you can see from a kitchen window. We guarantee that a few months from now, you will be delighted that you did.<\/p>\n

\"Muscari<\/a>
Muscari Latifolium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These little beauties are soon followed by Chionodoxa<\/strong><\/a> (Glory-of-the-Snow), Anemone<\/strong><\/a> blanda, Crocus vernus<\/strong><\/a> (the larger Dutch Crocus), Erythronium<\/strong><\/a>, Hyacinths<\/strong><\/a>, Muscari<\/strong> <\/a>(Grape Hyacinths), Scilla<\/strong><\/a>, and species Tulips<\/strong><\/a>. We have mixtures of many of these varieties, which provide maximum diversity of color and form to make your selections easy.<\/p>\n

\"Tulip<\/a>
Tulip Elegant Lady<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Overlapping this second group are various Fritillaria<\/strong><\/a>, Leucojum<\/strong><\/a> (Summer Snowflake), and Narcissus<\/strong><\/a> (Daffodils). The large-flowered Tulips, such as the Darwin Hybrids<\/strong><\/a>, tend to bloom along with Daffodils making them fine companions. The distinctive and elegant Lily-Flowered Tulips<\/strong><\/a>, with their graceful stems, usually provide the swan song of spring-flowering bulbs. They Hyacinthoides<\/strong><\/a> (Bluebells) transition to the first flush of early summer perennials, followed by the fragrant Lilies of summer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Spanish<\/a>
Spanish Bluebells Mixture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have fun choosing a color theme, or exuberant mixes of hues and varieties. Even a few dozen bulbs will cheer you next spring, before your perennials are barely discernible tufts of green.<\/p>\n
