Reply:Spring flower bulbs are planted in the fall. Tulips, hyacynths, and daffodils.





Fall flowers tend not to be bulbs. Mums are the most common.
Reply:One great bulb that will bloom during later spring, summer and fall is dahlia. You can get them with smaller, compact heads and those grow to about 12". You can also get them in gorgeous dinner plate sizes and those plants grow to 3+ feet tall.


I also planted what I called a Progressive Garden. I planted crocus for early spring in the front, tulips and daffodils right behind the crocus for later spring, lillies behind the tulips and peonies behind the lillies for early and mid-summer and gladiolas and dinner plate dahlias behind the peonies for late summer. It was beautiful as something was always in bloom. Bulbs like crocus, daffodils and tulips are planted in the fall. Lillies, peonies, gladiolas and dahlias are planted in the spring. The only bulb that needs replacement after a few years is tulips. They don't usually last. I would recommend going to Roozengaarde's website. They are located in Mt. Vernon, WA and have the best daffodil and tulip bulbs. Good luck to you.
