11 Best Spring Bulbs To Plant This Fall For A Beautiful Garden

Snowdrops

Snowdrops are a spring bloom that can be planted in the fall, but they grow best in the cold. They prefer a shady spot and need moist soil to thrive. These bulbs like temperatures between 55 degrees and 65 degrees Fahrenheit, so you’ll want to plant them somewhere sheltered from direct sunlight during the summer months.

When choosing where to plant your snowdrop bulbs, keep in mind that this flower likes full sun or partial shade (depending on where your yard is). If you live in an area with hot summers, then this might not be an ideal choice for you!

Winter Aconite

Aconite, or winter aconite, is a perennial plant that grows to be about 1 foot tall and wide. It blooms from November through March and can be planted in the fall for spring flowers. This bulb likes partial shade and is hardy down to zone 5a (14–20F). It’s also relatively easy to grow if you have some space in your garden or container!

Tulipa

Tulipa is a popular spring flower that can be planted in the fall, just like other bulbs. It grows well in a wide variety of soils and has a long blooming period, usually lasting around three weeks. Tulips are also known to grow well when planted in large groups for dramatic effect!

Tulipa flowers come in many colors, including red, pink, and yellow. The most common types you’ll find include Amaranth (red), Sweet William (yellow), King Henry (white), and Zwiebelgross (orange).

Fritillaria

Fritillaria is a bulb that grows and blooms throughout the spring. The bulbs can be planted in early fall, but if you want to enjoy their flowers, you’ll need to start them indoors several weeks before they are ready for planting outdoors.

To start your fritillaries from seed:

Fill a small container with one inch of soil and place two or three seeds into it (depending on how many you have).
Water daily until sprouts appear; then keep watered until fully mature (about three months).

Eranthis

Eranthis oleracea ‘Cherry Belle’

This is a great choice for any garden, as it grows well in both containers and the ground. It’s also an excellent choice for those who want to experiment with color this season. The bright pink flowers will make your garden pop!

Crocus

Crocus is an early spring flower that is easy to grow and comes in a wide variety of colors. It’s a good choice for a first-time gardener because it grows well in pots and containers, making it easy to transplant into your garden at any time of year.

Crocus bulbs can be planted directly into the ground or inside window boxes or hanging baskets. They are also great for growing indoors during cold weather months when you don’t want something too bulky out there in full bloom!

Camassia leichtlinii

This bulb is a must-have for the spring garden. It’s perfect for planting in the fall, as it grows quickly and can be planted in groups of three or more. The planting depth is 8 inches and they prefer full sun to partial shade, so choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Iris reticulata and iris danfordiae

Iris reticulata is a species of Iris, in the genus Iris. It is known as a rhizomatous perennial or woody iris with large flowers. The flowers can be white, blue-violet, or even yellow. The plant grows up to 5 feet tall and produces dense clusters of fragrant blooms in late spring through early summer. This bulb produces small red berries that attract bees to its flowers for pollination

Chionodoxa luciliae

Chionodoxa luciliae is one of the best bulbs to plant in the fall. It’s a spring bulb, so if you want to enjoy its spring-like flowers, you’ll need to put it in the ground during late winter or early spring. Once planted, this bulb will bloom from late May through June and into early July.

When planting chionodoxa luciliae bulbs, choose a spot that gets full sun and has moist soil for best results (although the more moisture they receive, the fewer blooms they’ll produce). If your yard isn’t already receiving enough water then use an organic fertilizer with soluble salt such as potassium nitrate mixed with Epsom salts instead of chemical fertilizers like ammonium phosphate which can harm nearby plants if too much goes into their soil
