Naturalizing Bulbs
Gardeners looking for a source of information on selecting bulbs requiring little maintenance to create a natural look should check out this book. Proctor, a horticultural writer and teacher at Denver Botanic Gardens, tells how effectively to use a variety of bulbs with other ornamental plants in a garden. Illustrated with attractive color photos, his discussion includes how to choose bulbs that will work in an individual garden and how to make the best planting decisions when selecting bulbs. An appendix for each bulb species provides height, color, geographic region, bloom time, garden use, water, sunlight, soil requirements, and plant origin.
