Planning for Spring, Think Bulbs!

July 22, 2025

A cornucopia of stunning, hardy bulbs will be arriving in August and early September at Harlequin’s, so get ready! Now is a great time to peruse our list (at the link below) and to look at your garden to identify areas where you can add fall-planted bulbs for (mostly) spring blooms (a few special Crocus and Colchicum bloom later in the fall!). Consider the gentle drama of a drift of mixed daffodils (Narcissus) that bloom from early to late springand the uplifting jauntiness of the distinctive tall, globular flowering onions (Allium), and the easy addition of late-winter and early-spring color and pollinator support you can provide with fall-planted, spring-blooming bulbs! You’ll find new and interesting bulbs on our list, as well as tried-and-true favorites.

Our tulip selection includes hardy perennial Darwin Hybrid and Triumph varieties that will continue to grace your garden for decades to come. We have chosen bulbs for naturalizing, for exceptional fragrance, and exceptional form and color that make your garden and floral arrangements sing. The little bulbs, like Siberian Squill (Scilla), Snowdrop (Galanthus), Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa) and Grecian Windflower (Anemone blanda) make a flowering carpet long before most herbaceous perennials and groundcovers begin to bloom. And these little jewels, along with miniature daffodils, botanical iris and species tulips, excel in rock gardens and low borders. Our bulb-growers have assured us they do not use neonicotinoids.

We also stock ergonomic, durable, Iowa-made stainless steel trowels that make bulb-planting easy. If you’re planting a lot of bulbs, or if your soil is relatively dense and hard, we recommend using a cordless electric drill with an auger bit to make the planting holes.
