Bulbs for Spring Beauty Ken Plante

Nothing is more dazzling than a great display of spring color: a bed blazing with daffodils, tulips (cherry red or soft pink or deepest purple or purest white) edging your border, hyacinths wafting their perfume beside your front door… Explore the lesser-known bulbs too—snowdrops bravely proclaiming the certainty of spring in January, the starburst or spherical flowers of allium, demurely heart-shaped cyclamen in Valentine tones of pink, white, and red. Feeling blue? Try scilla, native camassia, exotic bellevalia…. Ken will tell you everything you need to know about choosing, planting, and enjoying these beauties.
