The Prettiest Flower Bulbs
Ranked #9,192 in Home & Garden, #115,829 overall
Planting fall bulbs makes for beautiful spring flowers.
These are some of my favorite beautiful spring flowering bulbs. They are all easy to take care of and give years of colorful enjoyment.
Eye of the Tiger Dutch Iris
Eye of the Tiger Dutch Iris 10 Bulbs - Multiply Rapidly
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
These dramatic flowers will grow to be around 20 inches tall. They usually bloom right around mothers day and are great for bouquets and arrangements.
Double Galaxy Amaryllis Blossom Peacock
Amaryllis - Double - Blossom Peacock Fall Flower Bulb
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
These delicate looking flowers will grow to be around 22 inches tall. They can be grown indoors or out and are great to use in flower arrangements.
Double Snowdrops
Double Snowdrops Fall Flower Bulb - Pack of Five
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
These beautiful flowers will only grow to be about 8 inches tall, so it's best to plant them in large groups. Look for them to bloom at the first sign of spring, although sometimes they get in such a hurry, they'll push their way through the snow!
Fall flower bulbs need to be placed in well-drained soils for best results. Setting water tends to rot the bulbs.
Asiatic Lily Landini
Lily - Asiatic - Landini Flower Bulbs
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
These are the darkest Asiatic available. Since they will grow to be 48 inches tall, the best place to plant these would be towards the back of your garden. They also look great when planted alone as a house border.
Queen of Night Single Late Black Tulip
Queen of Night Single Late Black Tulip - 10 bulbs
Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)
These unique flowers will grow to be around 28 inches tall. They are great for using in your homemade flower arrangements.
Astilbe Amethyst
Astilbe Amethyst 10 bulbs

These beautiful purple feathery flowers will grow to be about 24 inches tall. They are perfect for planting around the border of your garden.

- I would love to have a yard again to be able to plant bulbs. I seem to love everything and would love to a a bunch of everything you have here. The Asiatic Lilies and Amaryllis are sure catching my eye here.

- Lovely choice of flower bulbs. Because we have moles in our yard...darn critters...we bury a small coffee can that has holes poked in the bottom and plant the bulbs inside them. Since we have done it this way we have not lost one of our flower bulbs :)

- It has been over 20 years since I planted my bulbs, and they come up faithfully each year. The same ones...some of the hybrids are losing their color, reverting back to their natural colors. But each year they bring back memories as I look at them come up.
