Some flower bulb ideas for spring

It is true that we are still in the middle of winter and that with the current weather, you don't really want to think about gardening. Yet this is the perfect opportunity to find ideas for flowering bulbs, in order to be ready for spring.

A beautiful bloom in your gardens in the spring?

I don't know if just like me, you are also very unhappy throughout the winter period. Indeed, because of the cold and the frost, I simply cannot indulge in my favorite hobby of gardening.

It is true that I always have my indoor plants or the maintenance of my equipment, but you completely agree with me that nothing beats outdoor gardening with the sun and the good weather. To console myself, I am already anticipating what I will plant in my garden and thus benefit from a magnificent flowering in the spring.

To do this, I'm looking for ideas for bulbs that bloom at the end of winter, which I want to share with you. But first of all, it is essential to know that if you want flower gardens as soon as the good weather arrives, the planting of bulbs should preferably be scheduled between September and mid-December at the latest, since beyond this period any planting will be impossible, since the cold will already set in. In addition, for there to be flowering in the spring, the bulbs also require exposure, as well as a very particular soil.

Which bulbs to buy?

Above all, don't panic! There are many bulb plants that bloom in the spring, and you are spoiled for choice. The trick is, of course, to know how to choose the variety of bulbs that will suit flowerbeds, beds, flowerbeds or borders.

Then, the main thing is to achieve a very beautiful harmony of color at the time of flowering and above all to avoid very unsightly errors of taste. Offering a myriad of colors, I particularly have a great preference for anemones. These plants are ideal for brightening up borders and rockeries. What's more, they bloom well into autumn.

To dress the undergrowth, nothing beats Armenian grape hyacinths for me because of their great ease of maintenance. Be careful though, without regular pruning, this plant may quickly invade your garden.

Otherwise, to obtain the most beautiful effects on the beds, you can indulge in a few fantasies and plant two to three varieties of plants at a time. This of course depends on the space you have. Thus, the tulip, the dahlia, the pansies coexist well together. As for flower beds, give preference to daffodils and narcissus.
