There would be no garden without perennial summer and spring bulbs. They provide most of the colors, textures, and fragrances which give gardens most of their allure. From spring to fall, these are your staples–just fill in along the way with a few annuals, tropicals, and short bloomers.
Your flower bulbs will also require very little of your attention, freeing you up to work on other garden projects. Daffodils, tulips, amaryllis, and other bulbs need no regular maintenance as long as they have moisture and well-drained soil. They never need to be divided or replanted – just let them clump and spread as they will for a more natural and playful looking garden.
