A garden is never done!
.
Are you planning out your spring garden and buying fall-planted bulbs?
.
Spring bulbs, also called hardy bulbs, are planted in fall, spend winter in the ground, and flower in spring. Some of the more common spring bulbs are tulips, irises, daffodils, hyacinth, allium (pictured) and crocus. These bulbs need several weeks of cold temperatures to break their dormancy and flower to their full potential.
.
As August starts, it’s a good time to start planning what you want your spring garden to look like, start buying bulbs, and use this timetable for a successful garden:
Average planting times for spring bulbs:
-September to October — Zones 4 and 5
-October to early November — Zones 6 and 7
-November to early December — Zones 8 and 9
-Late December to early January — Zone 10
