Successful Bulb & Perennial Flower Combos #2

Perennial flowers anchor our landscapes, but can take quite awhile before the blooms of some types appear each season. But what if the flowers of a different plant were to ride above those leaves early in the season, and then magically disappear just before the perennial’s flowers show up? That’s what happens when you drop the right Spring bulbs into the right kind of perennial.

Combo #2

Tulip ‘Parade’ with Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba'



The red blooms of the tulip with the white blooms of the Dicentra add charm to the spring garden.  As the tulips finish their show, the Dicentra continues to bloom for several more weeks.










Fall is a great time to plant spring blooming bulbs and perennials!

Happy Gardening!
