Bulbs are the stars of the winter and spring garden. While much else is dormant, you can rely on early flowering daffodils, hyacinths and tulips to add a splash of color. Bulbs, I think, are a quick, easy and affordable way to create spectacular displays.
While we all know that most bulbs produce colorful blooms, perhaps less well-known are the scented species and varieties. As a former professional gardener, I have planted many bulbs in different gardens across the UK, yet I think it is hard to beat some of the best fragrant bulbs listed here. Planted together in a bulb lasagne, who wouldn't swoon over musk-scented hyacinths or sweetly-perfumed Daffodil 'Pipet' during the cold, darker months of the year?
