We all love to see daffodils showing their faces in spring. Customers come rushing in wanting to plant the bulbs of yellow flowers. But we are forced to tell them, “Sorry, it’s too late.” Fall is the time to plan ahead for spring bulb color.
Tulips, and daffodils are the traditional bulbs. For those that like the unusual, there are many spectacular varieties to choose from. They can be layered in containers or in your flower bed so that the colors just keep popping up. Tulips are great in containers to show off your favorite pot in early spring. For a great show and color display, plant 8-10 daffodil bulbs in the same large hole.
Don’t be disappointed when your neighbors have daffodils and tulips popping up in their yards next spring and you have bare ground. Plan and plant ahead! Choose your bulbs now and plant in the fall.
