It may take a little more elbow grease to get so many planted but it will pay off! If you are looking for diversity, consider adding different types year after year. I typically plant them in groups of 7-10 so 100 gets me 10-14 groupings. It’s better to get a lot of one type, than to get a few of many different kinds. They can be added between other plants, especially late summer flowering shrubs and perennials such as hibiscus or hydrangeas. Late bloomers, such as allium or camassia are well suited to perennial beds. This may mean locating them in beds that don’t typically have perennials, between shrubs, at the base of trees, or even within a wooded area that isn’t usually considered part of the formal landscape. There is no sense in putting them around a back corner where you only go in the summer. If you’re planting a variety that blooms early, like daffodils or muscari, you want to plant them where you will see them daily such as along the driveway or within view of the kitchen windows. It’s important to place bulbs where you know you will see them. There are so many things to consider and there is so much fun to have! Make a Planįirst plan the general location.

I’m not here to tell you how to physically plant bulbs. They have interesting shapes, colors, and textures and there is something magical about the fact that they are planted in the fall and then lay dormant until they poke up through the earth at the first sign of the spring thaw. Many of them bloom early, while most other plants haven’t dared to break bud.
