Planting some spring flowering bulbs will help shorten the wait of winter.

Time is now to plant spring owering bulbs By Melinda Myers Shorten the winter season with the help of spring flowering bulbs that you plant in fall. These beauties often provide the first bit of color, fragrance and winter relief each year. Look for new and unique ways to incorporate bulbs into your landscape. Create a seasonal water feature with a river of blue scillas and grape hyacinths meandering through the garden. Welcome visitors with a front door or walkway garden that blooms from early spring through early summer and is loaded with crocus, tulips, daffodils and allium. Do not overlook those shady spots. Many of these locations provide enough early season sun, before the trees leaf out, for bulbs to grow and flower. Use more shade tolerant spring bloomers like snowdrops, grape hyacinths, scillas, anemones, daffodils, fritillarias, and Camassias in shady areas among hostas, ferns, and other shade tolerant perennials.

growing bulbs is an easy endeavor. Just follow these simple steps to a beautiful spring garden. Selection Purchase bulbs that are dense and firm, and free of bruises or mold. Shop early for the best selection. Mail order sources will ship your bulbs at the proper planting time. If you buy locally, store the bulbs in a dry, well-ventilated, and cool 60 F location until it is time to plant. Do not let deer, rabbits and chipmunks dissuade you from planting. Include hyacinths, grape hyacinths, scillas, glory-ofthe-snow, fritillarias, alliums and Camassias that the animals tend to overlook.
