Autumn planting bulbs by purpose
Spring flowering bulbs appearing after a long winter are always a joy. They can be used to fill gaps in your borders, or for that natural look be planted under trees and in grassy areas. An array of colours, some fragrant, attract pollinators or make ideal cut flowers. Bulbs are fairly easy going and some are particularly good for those new to gardening.
