Fall-Planted Bulbs Bring Spring to Life
Dreaming of colorful spring flowers while the leaves are falling? That’s the magic of Fall-planted bulbs! These easy-to-grow beauties go in the ground in autumn and bloom with flair when winter fades. Tulips, Daffodils, Crocus, Alliums, and more, these springtime stunners are planted during the cooler months to soak up the chill they need for strong root growth and jaw-dropping blooms.
Whether you're filling beds, lining walkways, or potting them up for a cheerful porch display, Fall-planted bulbs add bursts of color, sweet fragrance, and early-season joy. And with so many options, your garden can bloom in bold brights, soft pastels, or moody jewel tones, your spring, your style!
When & How to Plant
Fall is the best time to plant these spring-blooming bulbs. Here’s a quick guide:
- Plant after the last heat wave, but before the ground freezes
- Check your product’s care guide for sun, soil, and spacing needs
- Dig holes 2–3 times deeper than the bulb’s height, root side down, pointy side up
- Water thoroughly after planting to help bulbs settle and form roots
- Use the Finger Test to check soil moisture
- Top off with 3–4 inches of arborist mulch for warmth and moisture retention
For bonus blooms indoors, try forcing bulbs like Amaryllis and Hyacinth for winter cheer!
Landscape Uses for Fall Bulbs
Get creative with how and where you use them! Fall-planted bulbs are perfect for:
- Surrounding mailboxes, trees, or birdbaths
- Adding spring drama to Rock Gardens or Cottage Gardens
- Brightening borders, paths, and foundations
- Lining patios, pools, and outdoor entertaining spaces
- Container gardens, window boxes, and seasonal pots
