A variety of bulbs are available from mail-order catalogues and various garden centers and hardware stores. The home gardener does best to select large bulbs for tulips and daffodils. Master gardeners recommend planting large bulbs in groups of eight or more in a well-drained location. Small bulbs like crocus and squills should be in groups of a dozen or more. Tulips and daffodils are common spring bloomers.
