Home and Garden Tips
If you want to have flowers that bloom early in the spring when it is still cool outside opt for "early blooming bulbs". A great early bloomer is the Glory of the Snow or Chionodoxa Gigantea. It comes in the colors blue, pink, white and stands
about 4 inches tall.
Other early blooming bulbs include Snow Crocus, Snow Drop and Winter Aconite. All of these bulbs come in various colors and are approximately 4 to 5 inches in height.
Purchasing Bulbs
When purchasing bulbs the larger the bulb is in size the better. Larger bulbs help ensure a better bloom and sizes range from DNI to DNII the later being the largest. Good quality bulbs should be firm to the touch and not have any damage such as cracks and gashes.
Bulbs that have started to grow roots are no good. When storing your bulbs keep them in a dark cool environment with no sunlight to prevent shoots from growing.
