Looking to add color and texture to your garden? Planting bulbs is the perfect way to achieve a stand-out garden that will bloom in the spring. It’s best to plant bulbs like tulips, dahlias and calla lilies in the fall. When choosing the best bulbs to plant for a blooming spring garden year after year, imagine the color scheme, size and texture that will fit in best with your style and garden size.

When fall rolls around and the temperatures have dropped off, it’s time to plant your bulbs in preparation for the spring bloom. Below are bulb varieties to choose from to add beauty to your garden with vibrant colors and bold textures.

Bulbs for Your Garden

Tulips

Tulips are the unofficial mascot of spring. Once tulips start blooming and adding their own unique beauty to gardens, walkways and cities, we know spring has arrived. Tulips come in a variety of colors like white, purple, pink, orange and red.

Snowdrops

Snowdrops have a drooping shape that adds a touch of beauty to gardens. Although there are many different species of snowdrops, all are white. If you’re on the hunt for a white bulb that will add some dimension to your garden, browse our thousands of verified flower vendors for snowdrops.

Dahlias

Dahlias add a pop of texture to gardens, not to mention they come in a variety of beautiful colors. Once your dahlias bloom in the spring, enjoy their beauty even further by cutting some off to create an impressive bouquet.

Calla Lilies

Calla lilies have a classic look to them, unique to any other bulbs. They have trumpet-shaped petals that can add a touch of elegance to your home garden. In order to keep calla lilies year-round, plant them in pots and bring them indoors in the winter.

Begonias

Begonias add beauty to gardens with their bright colors, like pink, red or orange. Begonias are ideal for planting in bunches for a wonderful garden display.

Alliums

Alliums have a drumstick, circular shape that add shape and dimension to gardens each spring with their striking purple color. Alliums need minimal care and maintenance, so they’re a great addition to your bulb garden.
