You can plant bulbs anytime in the fall, as long as the ground isn’t frozen yet. The best time is usually right around your first frost. This gives bulbs time to settle in before winter and helps them grow strong in the spring.

Pick a spot that gets full or partial sun and has soil that drains well. Avoid areas where water sits for a long time. Bulbs look best when planted in groups or clusters, or along paths and garden edges.

You can group bulbs that bloom at the same time or mix early, mid, and late bloomers to keep color in your garden for longer. Tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths make a great combo. For a more natural look, try mixing smaller bulbs like crocus with taller ones like alliums.

Shipping is free anywhere in the contiguous United States when you buy 3 or more bulbs. This means you can mix different types and colors without paying extra for shipping. For smaller orders, standard shipping rates apply and will show at checkout. Bulbs ship starting in October.

For bright contrast, try color pairs like purple and yellow, orange and yellow, or red and white. If you want a softer look, use similar colors like pink and white or different shades of a single color for a more monochromatic look. Cool colors like lavender and white feel calm, while warm colors like red and orange feel bold and energetic.
