Plan now for bursts of color in spring
Here are some hints to help you choose from all those spring-blooming bulbs to create colorful combinations you can enjoy as early as February and well into June.
Bulbs are generally categorized by their bloom time: early, mid or late spring blooming. When pairing different varieties, be sure to select bulbs that have the same bloom time. Crocus can share space with early-blooming daffodils. A little later, the small botanical tulips can intermingle with fragrant hyacinths.
Choosing bulbs from each category of bloom time will ensure that there's a continuous show of color. Winter aconite can appear as early as February; single, late-blooming tulips often bloom into June. Also, consider whether there are shrubs or perennials nearby that will be flowering at the same time as your bulbs.
Why not take advantage of that forsythia in full bloom by underplanting it with blue scilla and red tulips? Or you might try planting a grouping of grape hyacinths beneath an old-fashioned bleeding heart.
