There are several other important factors concerning bulbs. For instance some of the Species Tulips should not be lifted every year and there are delicate Daffodils, such as the Tazetta group, which should not be left outdoors in winter. Apart from summer flowering Gladioli many gardeners look no further than the denizens of spring. There are so many other varieties within the vast range of bulbous plants. Bulbs have the ability to provide colour in the garden all season.
Last fall I planted about 225 bulbs. The unusual and exotic array of summer bulbs was fascinating. As a matter of fact I plan on creating a new garden this summer strictly for bulbs. I spent hours at the nursery, reading books, asking questions and educating myself on the vast array of bulbs.
