Crocus flowers are the first sign of Spring. It is even common to see them bloom from beneath the last snowfall. They are small flowers, ranging from 4 inches to 10 inches in some varieties. They too come in an array of colors. Whichever type of bulb flower you pick you are almost guaranteed success.
Bulbs are the easiest flowers to grow.
Planting bulbs Bulbs are planted in the fall or early winter because they need a cold hibernation period before they will bloom. Loosen soil 12 to 18 inches deep. Stick a pitchfork or spade shovel into the ground and literally pick the dirt up and turn it over. Add organic topsoil and peat moss to ensure a soil rich in nutrients. Put the bulbs in a color pattern or place them randomly for a more natural look or place them in groups.
