Spring Planted 'Bulbs' for Summer Color by Barb Kett




SPRING PLANTED “BULBS” FOR SUMMER COLOR

“Bulb” generally covers true bulbs and other structures such as corms, tubers, tuberous roots and stems, and rhizomes that store food for the plants.  Buy bulbs early to get the biggest selection and healthiest bulbs - usually, the bigger, firmer the bulb, the better the flowers.

There are many spring planted bulbs that provide great color, foliage, and flowers for the summer season.  Dahlias, caladium, canna, gladiolus, allium, tuberous begonia, and lilies are some of the easiest to find summer blooming bulbs.
