Flowers that propagate with bulbs are some of the most hardy and colorful
flowers you can plant. Some bulbs need to be planted in the fall, others can be
planted throughout the spring and even into the summer.
Many 'tuberous' root cuttings are called bulbs although their 'bulbs' don't look at
all like what we think of as a bulb. A flower bulb is just a specialized kind of seed that
contains the nutrients the young plant needs to get a good start. A tuber or
root cutting serves the same purpose. Many of the flowers shown here produce
seeds as well as tubers but grow a stronger new plant when root cuttings (tubers)
are used instead of seeds.

signs of Spring. Where cold climates keep you indoors so long these brilliant
flowers peeping through snow remnants can make you feel the vibrancy of Spring
while the roses are still sleeping.
Some bulb flowers require a few months of 'cold sleep' to awaken fresh and ready to burst
through with color so they are not recommended for warmer climates. Tuber flowers do want the first colors of Spring every year you'll need to be sure the bulbs you
not need the cold sleep time and can be planted in early spring for amazing flowers the first year. .
Bulb and tuber flowers are fairly easy to grow when you start with healthy roots full of their
own vitality. The colors range from pale waxen whites, pinks, yellows and blues
to deep bright reds and shades that are nearly black. There is a variety for
everyone's tastes from the bold and amusing reds and yellows of the begonias
to the pale pinks and white of tree peonies. With hundreds of varieties you are sure
to find a favorite. These flowers have all colors, streaks of bright colors, spotted flowers
and solid colors, stripes and flamelike variegated colors, the choices are
without limit. Some bulb flowers have just a fringe of contrasting color on the
edges of their petals. Bulb flowers have been bred for centuries and at one time were
used as currency they were so valuable. Today's favorite root planting flowers are valued for their
colors, and these varieties are valued for their strength and vigor.
There are many places selling bulbs but not many that can honestly say that each bulb
has been inspected. These bulbs are strong and healthy and grow beautifully when
handled and planted according to the simple instructions. If you are dreaming
of surrounding your home with the first bright blooms of Spring year after year
you are at the right place to start.
