Bulb flowers that bloom in spring add delightful displays of color to a residential yard. Those hues are welcome after the cold winter months. A landscaping company in Lexington, KY can help clients develop a planting plan and complete the project as well.
Timing for Blooming
The landscape designers will consider the timing for blooming. Tulips, hyacinths and daffodils are early bloomers. Gladiolas and irises appear next, allowing lovely colors to continue decorating the yard. Dahlias bloom in the summer.
Optimum Environment
Some of these flowers have different needs for optimum growth. Daffodils, dahlias, irises and gladiolas do best in sunny locations with well-drained soil. Raised beds can be built if drainage is an issue. Tulips and hyacinths can be planted in areas with full sun or partial shade.
Front Yard
A landscaping company in Lexington, KY will probably recommend planting bulbs in the front yard where they provide plenty of curb appeal to passersby. The flowers could be along the front of the house or under large windows. A corner lot is enhanced by a flowerbed at the corner.
Backyard
Homes with backyards can have bulbs planted in designated areas or blended with other flowering plants. In spring, the blooms create focal points in dedicated flower beds and next to the house. A garden shed or other small outbuilding can have a row along one or two sides.
Containers
Placing plant containers on a patio, deck or balcony is another possibility. The flowers need large pots or planters with well-draining potting soil.
