Sun or Shade
Spring-blooming bulbs prefer full sun, but because they bloom before the trees leaf out, even a shady area will provide plenty of sunlight.
Cutting Gardens
Spring bulbs are wonderful for bouquets. Planting bulbs in a cutting garden, or even in a vegetable garden, lets you enjoy flowers indoors as well as out.
Naturalizing
Plant daffodils and smaller bulbs beneath trees and shrubs or in lawns and woodlands. For a natural look, scatter the bulbs on the ground and plant them where they fall.
Beds and Borders
Get a jump on the season by planting bulbs between existing perennials. The bulbs will have already bloomed when your garden begins to fill out.
Containers
Most bulbs can be grown in containers as long as the pots have drainage holes. Keep the pots cool during the winter, but don’t let the soil freeze.
Yard and Landscape
Landscaping professionals know that spring bulbs make a big impact when planted in large numbers.
