Enjoy superlative days of blooms with the 60 Days of Blooms Collection, a Package of 70 Dormant Bulbs that provides continuous blooms from early spring to late spring. Plant taller varieties towards the back of your bed and shorter varieties in front. 

Tulips are a must for every garden because they are sturdy, tall and bright and may bloom for several springs in a row. Generally upward-facing blooms appear on short to tall stems, depending on the variety. Foliage color ranges from green to gray-green to variegated lance-shaped leaves. There are over 15 divisions by which tulips are grouped, each having their own distinct qualities. 

Daffodils may be the perfect spring flower. They are available in a rainbow of rich colors with unsurpassed fragrance, classic shape and reliability. Small, bell-shaped flowers are packed onto a thick, fragrant spike. A favorite for growing in the spring garden or for forcing indoors during the winter months. 

Crocus species that are the earliest spring bulbs to flower are among the most favorite. Crocus’ glossy, deeply cupped petals surround a vivid orange stamen. The cupped flowers are borne on short stems above grass-like leaves. Available in lots of vibrant colors that are sure to pop in the dreary, late winter garden. Plant them in rock gardens, among ground covers or anywhere you need to fend off the winter blues. Large flowering crocus are well known and are cherished for their early spring blooms. They are very popular for naturalizing. Large flowering crocus are hybrid varieties with larger flowers that emerge with the foliage. 

Chionodoxa, also known as ‘Glory of the Snow’, is a superb naturalizer and an early flowering favorite prized for its adorable star-shaped flowers. Chionodoxa is a relative of scilla with 6 species of small, perennial flower bulbs. 

The Dutch Iris' unmatched presence is an elegant addition to any garden. Bright and airy, the Dutch Iris resembles a bird in flight. Exquisite orchid-like flowers in solids and mixes of blue, purple, yellow and white rest atop sturdy stems. Striking sword-like leaves. 

Plant in the fall, before the first frost hardens the soil. Dig a hole to the required depth. Place bulb in hole, pointed side up. Cover with soil and water thoroughly. Mulch in extreme climates. For container planting, bury the bulb three times as deep as the bulb is wide. 

In zones 6 and below, you will need to protect your bulb containers. Place them near the foundation of the house or other structure. In zones 3-5, place the container in an unheated garage or shed. After blooming, leave the bulbs in place so plants can clump or reseed. Divide only when containers or planting spaces become too crowded. Propagate in the fall by division after they have been chilled for four weeks in a moist medium. Dig, dry, clean and store in a dry, cool place at 40-50ºF to over winter in non-hardy zones. 

In warmer climates (USDA hardy zones 8-10) it is advisable to pre-chill the bulbs 6-8 weeks before planting. Place in vented bag(s) at bottom of refrigerator. Do not freeze. Keep bulbs away from ripening fruits. Plant in informal groupings of 5 or more bulbs for best results. Water well during the growing season. Fertilize at planting time and again after blooming. After flowering and when foliage has died, dig and clean bulbs. Store in a dry, well ventilated location. Repeat pre-chilling procedure before planting again.
