Bulb Planting

What This Service Involves

Bulbs are the earliest color of the year – drifts of daffodils, tulips, crocus, and alliums that emerge when little else is blooming. Planted in fall at the correct depth and spacing, they reward you with a strong spring show and, for many varieties, return year after year. We design bulb plantings in natural-looking drifts and layer varieties for a longer bloom window, giving your garden a lift at the end of the long PNW winter.
