The iris is a tough plant that will last and multiply in your garden. Iris comes in blue, yellow, white, and purple. These bulbs prefer to be planted in a sunny location and will bloom in late winter – early Spring. Irises are also drought-tolerant in case you want something that doesn’t have to be watered regularly.

2. Crocus

Crocus are also an early Spring bloomer. They are planted in Fall, but they don’t like hot weather. When it gets hot, you will notice that they fade away.

3. Hyacinth

Hyacinth is an early Spring bloomer in between crocus and tulips. Be sure to plant these bulbs in well-drained soil to avoid root rot. You can fertilize them in the Spring when they come up by fertilizing at the base of the plant. Otherwise, they need little water and grow perfectly on their own.

5. Ranunculus

Ranunculus have a rose-like appearance that comes in shades of pink, burgundy, red, and orange. They love direct sunlight, but do not like heat. With blooms that appear in late winter and early spring, they are great companion plants for tulips and irises.

Now that you have an idea of what you would like to see in the summer, you can start looking at the endless possibilities of bulbs you can plant this Fall!
