Perennial Flower Bulbs

Sometimes tubers, rhizomes, bulbs and hardy root stocks all become lumped into one category which is none other than bulbs.

Always plant flower bulbs during the proper season and learn the proper technique of storing flower bulbs.

Yes you will, depending on where you live, find it necessary to protect certain perennial bulbs by storing them over the winter months, and then to be planted out during spring.

Some of the bulbs classified as perennial may be hardy in lets say zone ten and should you reside in zone six for example you will find it necessary, in most cases, to place them in winter storage.

Daylily plants along with Iris Flower Rhizomes are certainly among the list of plants that incorrectly fall under the heading of bulbs. That’s the bad news while the good is that neither requires special winter protection.

This is of course incorrect as each of the above certainly deserves to be listed in their correct form.

Perennial flower bulbs describes a rather large selection of both hardy and non-hardy plant materials with many confusing classifications such as; spring, summer and fall flower bulbs.

This can certainly confuse especially a new garden hobbyist so let’s clear this up at once. Spring, summer and fall bulbs refer to the planting season not the time of flowering.

One example of a fall bulb is the Tulip which you will plant in the fall in order to enjoy its bloom the following spring.
