Bulbous perennials for the garden: a catalog of flowers with names, photos and descriptions

Let's be realistic - it is impossible to refuse perennial bulbous flowers in the garden and in the summer cottage! After all, they are not only the first to delight the eye in spring, but also continuously create a magically beautiful and harmonious ensemble in summer and autumn due to different flowering periods. In addition, they do not require particularly complex personal care. You can get acquainted with the names and appearance (photo) of the most popular garden perennial bulbous flowers below.

Bulbous flowers: bulb selection, preparation and proper planting

When buying bulbous flowers, it is very important to choose a high-quality bulb: it must be dense (especially the bottom), not have any damage (scratches, cracks) or any kind of rot or plaque. In addition, the bulbs in the package should all be approximately the same size. Flowering also depends on the size of the bulb: if the bulb of tulips or daffodils is small, then you may not wait for flowering this year.

Note! If you want to make a bulbous flower bed, then in the foreground you need to plant small-bulbous plants (as a rule, they are not tall), for example, freesia or muscari, and in the second - large-bulbous plants that are longer in height.

It is equally important to properly process the bulbs before planting, for example, with such a popular remedy as "Maxim", or the most common potassium permanganate.

Recommendation! Try not to plant bulbs one by one. It hardly looks pretty when only 1 or 2 tulips grow. On the other hand, it is incredibly effective when many bulbs are planted at once (10-15), and better than different flowers.

The basic rule for planting all bulbs is to plant at a depth of 3 more than the bulb itself, in other words, at 3 of its height.

Important! Do not be afraid to plant bulbous flowers under large and branched trees. Indeed, in spring the trees have not yet been covered with dense foliage, so bulbous plants will definitely receive a sufficient amount of light and nutrition.

Small-bulb flowers for giving

As a rule, small-bulbous plants are more unpretentious to care for. It is desirable to plant them more densely. It is worth repeating once again the fact that these bulbous flowers, so to speak, are lost in large flower beds.

They begin to bloom much earlier than others: in fact, as soon as the snow melts on the site (except for Muscari and Grouse - only from April). This is due to the size of the small-bulbous bulbs, it takes much less time to awaken. The diameter of the bulbs in such crops is on the order of less than 3 centimeters.
