If you're looking for reliable blooms that return year-on-year, it's best to opt for perennial flowering bulbs. Lots of these bulbs can be planted in fall to give you flowers throughout spring and summer to enjoy.
Many of the most popular spring bulbs are perennial - though the likes of tulips and hyacinths are often treated as annuals - while there are also summer-flowering plants that can be planted in the fall and left to do their thing every year.
