Planting spring-blooming bulbs is one of the most rewarding fall gardening tasks. The effort put forth in October and November will reward you with beautiful blooms in March and April before any other plants emerge in the garden! Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Manager with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about how to plant spring-blooming bulbs. She explains why it's best to layer bulbs like Allium, Daffodils, and Grape Hyacinths when planting to provide multiple heights and bloom cycles. Plus, she gives advice for critter management!

Great tip to plant before a rain. That’s what I always try to do. As far as tools, the ProPlugger works really for me.
