• Tulips (Tulipa): The Tulip is the undisputed royalty of the spring garden, available in varieties ranging from classic single cups to ruffled parrot types and double blooms.
• Daffodils (Narcissus): We have a reliable selection that multiply naturally year after year, offering bright yellow, white, and peach tones to your borders.
• Hyacinths (Hyacinthus): These are highly fragrant clusters of tightly packed florets that bring a powerful scent and colorful structure to your walkways.
• Crocus: Crocuses are cheerful, low-growing flowers that often push through the final winter snow to feed early pollinators.
• Alliums: These are architectural globes that rise on sturdy stems later in the season, adding height, texture, and colorful interest to your flower beds.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fall-Planted Bulbs

What Bulbs Should Be Planted in the Fall?
You should plant spring-blooming bulbs in the fall, such as Tulips, Daffodils, Hyacinths, Alliums, and Crocuses. These specific flower bulbs require a period of cold winter dormancy to develop strong root systems and trigger their spring flowering mechanism. For the best results, plant them after the first fall frost when soil temperatures drop below 60°F but before the ground freezes.

How Deep Should Fall Bulbs Be Planted?
Fall bulbs should be planted at a depth equal to two to three times the bulb’s height. But be aware that the specific depth depends on the bulb itself. Follow our growing guides on our blog for the exact depth of each bulb genus. Always plant with the pointed tip facing upward.

What Is the Difference Between Spring- and Fall-Planted Flower Bulbs?
The primary difference between spring- and fall-planted bulbs lies in their planting timeline and blooming season. Fall-planted bulbs require a cold dormant period over winter to trigger root growth to flower in the spring. Spring-planted bulbs are tender, frost-sensitive varieties planted after the last winter frost to produce vibrant, lush flowers throughout the early summer to late summer months.

Do Fall-Planted Bulbs Need Full Sun or Full Shade?
Most fall-planted bulbs thrive in full sun to partial shade. Since they flower in the spring before large deciduous trees completely grow their leaves back, planting them beneath branches is often safe. However, avoid deep, permanent shade, as a total lack of sunlight results in weak stems and fewer flowers.
