Summer Blooming Bulbs

The following list contains bulbs that are planted in the spring and give your garden color anywhere from early summer through first frost. These are not hardy, so they need to be treated differently than your typical, fall planted bulbs. If you want to keep them from year to year, you need to dig up the bulbs before the ground freezes and store them in a cool, dry place for the winter. If you aren't worried about keeping them, simply treat them as annuals and don't bother digging them up. Either way, these bulbs will give your garden gorgeous color throughout the summer with a minimum amount of work. I'm sure there are others, but these are the easiest to find and care for. ITGO
