Bulb plants - the choice of a beginner and a professional

Being interested in what perennial flowers can be planted in the fall, many inexperienced gardeners come to the only correct conclusion and go to buy planting material in the form of tulips or daffodils. Their bulbs have enough nutrients for self-growth. A “cold” period is necessary for plants to give bright buds in spring. The most common and multi-varietal species of bulb plants:

1. Tulips - early varieties are planted in open ground in October-November, observing the depth of the holes of 12-15 cm, depending on the size of the planting material itself.
2. Daffodils - the depth of the fossa is calculated on the basis of three diameters of the bulb. Any variety can be left for the winter in the outdoor garden. Coarse sand is necessarily added to the bottom of the hole, but they are planted in September, very rarely at the beginning of warm October.
3. Crocuses - determining which perennial flowers can be planted in autumn, it is worth choosing these plants. If you have different varieties of this onion handsome, you can provide long-term flowering and delicate fragrance on the beds all spring and part of the summer.
4. Muscari and hyacinths are planted to a depth of 8-15 cm, relying on the size of the bulbs, and always sprinkled with peat and sand. Thus, you can get tender bell-shaped shoots in early spring and high in pastel colors, smelling brightly of inflorescences in early summer.
   

Opponents of onion varieties can be advised to choose one of the more demanding perennials, for example aconite, heicher, dicenter, delphinium, buzulnik or simple lupine. These plants require more care, but have longer periods of decorative vegetation.
