What kinds of plants grow from bulbs?

Many of our favorite flowering plants grow from bulbs—or tubers, rhizomes, or corms—rather than from seeds. Perennial plants that fall into these categories include tulips and daffodils (bulbs), peonies and dahlias (tubers), irises (rhizomes), and gladioli (corms).

Can different bulbs be planted together?

Grouping Bulbs – With spring flowering bulbs such as Tulips or Daffodils, plant at least twelve bulbs of one variety in a grouping. The more bulbs planted of one variety and colour, the greater the impact. The smaller Spring Bulbs, such as snow Crocus, should be planted in groups of 50 bulbs or more to have impact.

Can daffodils and tulips be planted together?

Daffodils (Narcissus spp.) and tulips (Tulipa spp.) are often the first seasonal flowers of spring. Planting tulips and daffodils together in a single bed creates a colorful spring display and can increase the flowering period if you mix early-flowering daffodils with midseason or late-blooming tulips.

Can you plant fall bulbs in early spring?

Bulbs should be planted in fall six weeks before frost, but they can survive if given time to root. If it is early spring, you may still have a chance to get your tulip bulbs in the ground before it gets too warm. Chill your bulbs in the refrigerator before planting, ideally for 12 weeks.
