After the last frost, it’s time for the planting of summer bulbs. Popular with gardeners and homeowners, summer-blooming, spring-planted bulbs are generally low maintenance and can add drama to landscaping, especially when tucked amongst perennials or planted in patterns. Bulbs, like begonias, dahlias and lilies, liven up landscaping beds and containers with their bold colors, while lush green-leaf bulbs, like elephant ears and caladiums, add texture and interest with their subtle patterns and interesting shapes.
