| Daffodils |
Planting bulbs this fall is an easy way to guarantee a
splash of color for your spring landscape. November through December is the
appropriate time to plant spring blooming bulbs in our region, but some
varieties are a better investment than others.
Not all bulb varieties can be counted on to come back year
after year. In addition to daffodils, the most reliably perennial spring
blooming bulbs for our climate are Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica),
with spikes of white, blue or pink blossoms that open the same time as azaleas;
summer snowflake (Leucojum aestivum), whose dainty spikes of white bell shaped
flowers resemble lily of the valley and open in April; and starflower (Ipheon
uniflorum), a low growing, early bloomer with icy blue, star shaped blossoms.
In addition to being perennial, these bulb varieties are rarely bothered by
deer or rabbits.
