Jessica Getting your garden ready for the seasons is a major job and does take some planning. Indeed, you always need to be ahead of the game, making sure you plant the right bulbs at the right time of the year to make sure they flower and look their very best. When bulbs are planted at the wrong time of year they may not flower at all. Spring bulbs should be planted over the next few months to get them ready to flower in summer. Some of the most popular bulbs to plant in the springtime are:
- Dahlias – these beautiful bold flowers stand out from the crowd
- Begonias – perfect for planting in containers and hanging baskets
- Gladioli – exotic in appearance but hardy in nature
- Lilies – a fragrant addition to any garden
- Freesias – fragrant and interesting blooms that are half hardy
- Bearded iris – classic flowers with delicate ruffled flowers and a light fragrance
