Naturalized bulbs look beautiful in a wooded
setting. You can plant them and leave them
to multiply. After the bulbs bloom the foliage
will die down, but you can interplant bulbs
with ground covers for a carefree and beautiful
garden.
For a natural look you should arrange
your bulbs informally. If you toss them
and plant them where they land, with small
adjustments for spacing, it'll look much
better than if you arrange them.
Bulbs also work well in a perennial
garden. When your bulbs finish blooming
your perennials are just ready to get
started and they're now filling in the
spaces and hiding the soon to be dormant
foliage of your bulbs. This is a great
way to extend color in the garden for
a good 6 weeks.
Summer bulbs can be used to fill in
areas that need color when perennials
have finished. Keep in mind that most
summer bulbs do need to be dug up and
stored over the winter. The good part
is that next season when you replant them
you can totally redesign with them.
Whatever your garden style, make sure
you add some bulbs. They'll provide you
with years of enjoyment!
