I here may no sight quite arresting as a “meadow” planting of flowering bulbs. If you have the budget, time and site for creating this , you will be rewarded for years each spring. For planning, think like a meadow: when the grass is short in early spring, snowdrops, crocus, and snowflakes make an appearance. These would be followed by taller bulbs, such as daffodils, fritillaries , Stars of Bethlehem and scilla. As the grass grows taller, tulips , lilies and foxtail lilies (eremurus) could bloom. Don’t mow, of course, while this is occurring. If you hold off mowing until September, lycoris and camassia (for damp spots) could extend the bulb succession.
If you are ordering a large quantity of bulbs, “wholesale” catalogs are the way to go. I happen to like Van Engelen in Connecticut. (Their number is 860-567-8734).
Now the wood-elves are quite peeved with me for taking up all of this column and never mentioning the native and woodland — appropriate bulbs! As it is not a good idea to perturb the elves, who are rather coy in nature, I have promised them to present the woodland bulbs, and where to buy them, even, in the next writing!
