Flower Bulbs
By planting flower bulbs, you can extend your season of bloom, thus keeping color in the garden from early Spring till Fall. Tulips will bloom in the garden early, and add color before the roses are even starting to bud!
Companion planting, involves knowing when to plant bulbs, and where to get the most out of the flowers. For example: White Lilies (actually Lilies are not bulbs, but tubers, but I list them here just the same) look wonderful blooming beside Pink or Red colored Roses!
Know When to Plant BulbsYou'll need to know when to plant bulbs to have them bloom at the proper time. Flower bulbs such as tulips, daffodills,Iris's and Lilys will come up every year, while others such as dahlias, cannas, and gladiolla will have to be dug in the fall and replanted in Spring.Because roses can be a bit late to start their show of flowers, it's nice to have some flower bulbs waiting to steal the show before the roses make their grand entrance.
