Early spring bulbs push up in March and April, then go dormant by May. The summer perennials pick up after that, blooming from June through September.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to Plant Your Spring Flowering Bulbs<\/h3>\n<p>Many early spring flowering bulbs produce small plants that are low to the ground. So they are best viewed and enjoyed close up. Miley suggests placing plants near where you walk every day: at entryways, around mailboxes, along borders, and around the base of trees.<\/p>\n<p>Many early blooming bulbs are perennial and reproduce readily. In fact, they tend to take over an area. Periodically, you have to divide the clumps of bulbs and give them more room because when they get too dense they don\u2019t bloom as fully.<\/p>\n<p>These early spring blooming bulbs spend most of their life cycle in dormancy. They come up early, bloom early and go dormant early. They store up all the light energy they need for the year in that brief period when they are above ground. If they don\u2019t get enough light, they won\u2019t bloom as well the next season.<\/p>\n<h3>Flowering Bulbs That Do Well in Northern Virginia<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3587 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/01-Snowdrops_ColorBlends-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"01-snowdrops_colorblends\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/199;\" \/>The plants we recommend are all hearty bulbs and can be left in the ground over winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snow Drops.<\/strong> Classic and beautiful, Snow Drops are one of the earliest spring arrivals. They emerge in mid-March and grow to about six inches high.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3574 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/03-striped-squill-ColorBlends-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"striped squill flowering bulb\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/220;\" \/>Striped Squill.<\/strong> Also called Scilia. This bulb produces a ground cover that looks like a carpet of tiny stars. They are similar to the type of flowers that grow on a forest floor. Squill is a great companion plant with perennials because it covers bare ground until the perennials fill in. In addition to white &amp; blue striped, Squill comes in solid white and blue.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3576 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/05-WolfsBane_ColorBlends-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"wolfsbane early spring flowering bulb\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/199;\" \/>Wolfsbane.<\/strong> This tiny yellow flower arrives even earlier than Snow Drops and Squill. Often Wolfsbane emerges in the snow. It\u2019s a bright, happy little plant that spreads densely in a woodland environment. It has cup-shaped flowers that sit barely two inches off the ground. Plant them around the base of deciduous trees.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3578\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3578 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.surroundslandscaping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/07-thalia-daffodil-CC-by-Ryan-Somma-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"thalia daffodil flowering bulb in garden design\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/199;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PHOTO: Creative Commons by Ryan Somma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Thalia Daffodil.<\/strong> Not your typical daffodil, \u00a0Thalia is a white daffodil that resembles an orchid.

Allium is sometimes called Ornamental Onion because it is part of the same family as chive, shallot, and garlic. They are very spare and minimalist looking. If you put them in with perennials, they will rise up like giant globes coming out of the bed. This bulb is a late bloomer and the last of the spring-flowering bulbs. Depending on the variety, they will show up in early May and be gone by June. Deer avoid them due to their oniony fragrance.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div>\n<h3>When to Plant Your Spring Flowering Bulbs<\/h3>\n<p>The end of October through November is the time to plant. The bulbs like cool, moist soil. Once planted, they quickly sprout roots and settle in for the winter.

Their enemy, says horticulturalist Christian Curless of ColorBlends, is heat. If it gets too warm, the flowers don\u2019t last because the warmer it is, the faster they grow and complete their bloom cycle. The ideal spring weather for bulbs, Curless says, is one where the temperatures stay below 70 degrees. \u201cWhen the weather stays cool, the bulbs grow but don\u2019t race to bloom\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>By adding bulbs to your garden design plan, you can achieve a continuous wave of blooms that leads up to your full summer array. Also, you can eliminate early-season bare spots in your perennial beds: As bulb foliage comes to end, the perennials will grow up, fill out and cover the area when bulbs go dormant.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to see more color in your garden earlier in the growing season, <a href=\"https:\/\/info.surroundslandscaping.com\/schedule-your-garden-management-consultation-call\">schedule a consultation with one of our garden management specialists<\/a>.
