Plan for a Colorful Spring Now

The Fall Bulbs have arrived! The Fall bulbs have arrived! This change up in seasons is always exciting for us Nursery staff. Every year we open each case of bulbs with the eagerness of a child on Christmas morning. You would think after years of seeing them come in we would get complacent but each year we delight in seeing all the fun varieties of daffodils and tulips and plenty more. They are referred to as ‘Fall bulbs’ because they are planted in the fall for blooming the following spring.

An afternoon of digging and planting is all that is required for a spring color show. Simply dig, drop,
done! It is probably the least amount of work for the greatest reward. Each spring day new blossoms
will emerge from the earth. Purchase bulbs soon (as some varieties sell out quickly) and store in a cool, dry location until October when they can be planted. They will root in the warm soil nicely before Old Man winter arrives and be in good shape for spring blooming. This year extend beyond the standard daffodils or tulips and try different flowering bulbs like snowdrops and glory-of-the-snow and more!
