Spires, bells and DISCO BALLS

Be inspired by easy-breezy bulbs that pop up from late spring

On parade

Follow early-spring blooms with a marching band of bulbs that come in striking shapes and colours. First to show up, around April time, are the delightful bells of fritillaries, followed in May and June by spires of camassias and gladioli, along with bauble-headed alliums. Plant handfuls of these beauties and reap the rewards each year as they naturally multiply to make bigger, bolder displays.
