Description
Using spring-flowering bulbs is a great way to brighten up the landscape at a time of year when flowers are much appreciated and not to be taken for granted. Flowering bulbs are versatile and fit into the landscape in many ways. They are often a finishing touch knitting together a gardenís design. Unless given their own bed, they should be planted after main elements (shrubs, trees, perennials, vines, hardscape) have been installed, to avoid digging them up or damaging them
Whatever variety of bulb you prefer, there are many places where they will shine, such as: along a driveway or road; at the back of a perennial bed where ripening foliage will be covered by emerging perennial foliage; to clothe the ankles of foundation shrubs; as spring edgers, in a groundcover; at the foot of a vine, in pots or windowboxes, naturalized or perennialized in a lawn or a field, in cracks between pavers, at the base of a tree; in a woodland, in a moss garden, between perennials or ornamental grasses; as a river of color beneath bare branches of deciduous shrubs.
