Fall bulbs don’t flower in the fall. They’re planted in the fall to bloom in the springtime. If you want to see early spring flowers in your garden, pop some bulbs in the ground in the fall. We will look at some of the different types of bulbs, learn when to plant them, planting spacing and depth, choosing the bulbs, and more tips on how to plant them.
