Each bulb is a complete package that practically guarantees success. Even young children can create a breathtakingly beautiful spring display in containers, a garden or naturalized in a lawn with spring bulbs. True bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, already contain the leaves, stems, roots and food for next year's plants. What Types to Plant Snowdrops, crocuses, tulips and daffodils are dependable choices for kids to plant. They grow best in well-drained soil amended with compost.
Snowdrops are inexpensive and multiply with each passing year.
They prefer to grow in full sun, but tolerate partial shade. You'll be rewarded with clumps of blooms that increase in number each year. They come in an amazing variety of sizes, scents and shapes, and bloom early, mid- and late season, depending on type. Carefully planned, you can have a splendid, long-lasting show of blooms all spring. Some tulips multiply, but most fade away after a couple of springs.
