Bulbous plants are perhaps the most low-maintenance. They're also often the first to bloom, ready to delight you with the first days of spring. When choosing flowers for your garden, consider tulips, hyacinths, muscari, fritillaries, and crocuses. Be sure to also consider colchicum, iridodictryum, crocuses, and daffodils. Let's take a closer look at these flowers, one by one, so you can decide which is best for you.
Chionodox
This delicate spring flower, a guest from the Alps, has already firmly established itself in the mid-latitudes, and with the first rays of sun, it begins to delight us with its lovely blooms for a half-moon. Be sure to set aside a spot in your garden for this delicate spring beauty.
Botanical tulip
With the first month of spring, the common botanical tulip begins to delight with its blooms—frost-hardy, completely unpretentious, beautiful, and available in a variety of shades and shapes. Plant it in a sunny spot, and it will thrive, unfurling its delicate flowers with the first rays of spring sunshine.
Iridodictyum
In April, or even from late March, the delicate blooms of the iridodictyum are a delight to behold. Plant this easy-to-grow plant in your garden in August or September, and it will be one of the first to delight you in the spring with its delicate flowers and vibrant color variety. You can also choose from annuals that bloom all summer, wonderful specimens for the garden.
Muscari
From April until June, muscari blooms in gardens, festively decorating flowerbeds and lawns with its colorful candles. Choose it for a sunny spot in your garden, and you'll admire its delicate beauty for a long time.
Crocuses
From March onward, the delicate crocus begins to delight the gardener's eye, and this joy often lasts until May, when other plants begin to unfurl their flower stalks. Choose a sunny spot for it and plant it in your garden (by the way, there are also autumn varieties that, like the colchicum, will delight you even on gloomy autumn days).
Colchicum
When the garden has finished blooming and is almost finished being tidied up, and the leaves are just beginning to fall, suddenly, out of nowhere, this delicate wonder—the colchicum—blooms, delighting the eye with its delicate pink blooms. This unexpected flower got its name because it blooms seemingly at the wrong time—everything else is fading, settling into dormancy, and here it is, unfurling its delicate flowers, evoking a sea of delight! It usually blooms in August and delights the eye until November. Add this wonder to your garden! It's an exceptionally easy-to-care-for plant—plant it and forget about it, as they say—and it will delight you every autumn for years to come.
By choosing unpretentious perennials for your garden in this way, you will, without wasting your time, always have beautiful, delicate flowers in your garden, from early spring until the autumn cold.
