Best Bulbs: New Releases for 2016 by
As hydrangea petals thin and brown, grasses turn ochre, and blooms die back, we're already imaging our garden next spring. We're planting ahead for a sea of color so alluring that the depth and gradient of a single petal is the kind only found in bulb flowers—color for those who wait. To get a start on spring, here is a look at the newest bulbs arriving to our favorite online nurseries.
