Spring Planting Bulbs

Brighten Your Summer Beds With Spring-Planted Bulbs!

After a long, gray winter, there's nothing quite like the promise of fresh blooms and vibrant color. Spring-planted bulbs bring the garden back to life with summer-flowering beauty! These include not just bulbs, but also rhizomes, tubers, bareroots, and corms, each one a ticket to color, fragrance, and pollinator power!

Planted in spring after the danger of frost has passed, these heat-loving plants bloom in summer and dazzle with bold colors, delicate petals, and unique textures. Whether you're dreaming of wildflower charm or dramatic tropical vibes, there's a bulb to match your garden's style.

Easy Tips For Planting & Growing

Get your bulbs off to the best start with these quick care steps:

• Plant in early to mid-spring after frost danger passes
• Follow each bulb's care instructions for sun, soil, and spacing
• Plant 2–3 times deeper than the bulb's height, roots down, pointy side up
• Cover with arborist mulch to retain moisture and buffer temperatures
• Dunk bulbs in water before planting and give a deep soak after
• Use the Finger Test to check soil moisture during early root growth
