8 Best Types of Bulbs to Plant in Fall
The earliest-blooming bulbs contend with occasional snow, freezing rain, and frigid temperatures as the winter turns to spring. These tough and tiny bulbs are a welcome sight after a long winter. Plant them along walkways and near entryways, where you are sure to enjoy their early spring color show. The best bulbs for early spring include crocus (Crocus), glory of the snow (Chionodoxa), squill (Scilla sibirica), and grape hyacinth (Muscari). #gardening #fallgardening #gardenplants #fallbulbs #bhg
