Plant Bulbs Now for Spring Beauty
It’s hard to believe that there’s still work to do out in the garden, but fall is the perfect time to plant spring bulbs.
Bulbs are a good investment for homeowners because of the years of spring flowers they provide. The bulb holds all the food underground that the flower needs to survive our winters.
While not all spring flowers come from a true bulb, the idea is the same for these cold-hardy plants—they store their food in their roots. In other words, these special perennials come as a complete package.
Here is a breakdown of different types of “bulbs”:
- Daffodils and tulips are true bulbs
- Crocuses have corms
- Anemones have tubers
- Lily of the valley have rhizomes
- Ranunculus have tuberous roots.
Your local landscape company will plant a wide variety of bulbs that give your beds and borders continuous color in various shapes and textures. Plus, your garden technicians will plant bulbs in curves, circles and other shapes to draw the eyes to your flowerbeds and gardens.
