Spring bulbs bring an entire new season of bloom to your daylily garden.
Daylilies and bulbs go perfectly together. The bulbs bloom in the spring just as the daylily foliage is emerging. By the time the bulbs are finished flowering, the daylily foliage helps hide the dying bub foliage. In the summer when your daylilies bloom, those bulbs are long gone, having gone dormant until the following spring.
Remember that by adding and layering larger bulbs like tulips and daffodils with smaller bulbs like crocuses and species tulips, you can maximize your spring bloom season.
