Bulbs can enjoy a place in every planting scheme. They offer a wide range of colors, forms. and fragrance to get your garden off to a bright and cheerful start.
Many gardeners are familiar with the sight of bright, sunny crocus, daffodils, and tulips.
But there are many other less known spring bulbs that will thrive in our New Hampshire gardens. This year consider camassia also known by the Indian name quamash. They offer tall spikes of blue or white star-like blossoms. Unlike most bulbs, camassias thrive in damp meadows and at pond edges. Scilla is another delightful early spring bulb that is beautiful planted underneath deciduous shrubs.
