Gardening often calls us to think ahead – to plan and prep for showtime in later seasons. Spring is one of the busiest times for this, and planting summer bulbs is one of the key tasks to tick off.
Choosing the best summer bulb is almost impossible, as there are so many gorgeous varieties. Dahlias are a firm favorite for many due to the wide range available – from the big, bold, and blousy to the pale and intricate pom-pom styles. Ranunculus flowers are another honorable mention with their candy-like colors. Then there are the loftier types that stand proud at the back of borders – the gladioli, crocosmia, and agapanthus.
