I just ordered 1600 bulbs: 500 mixed narcissus, 500 muscari (blue), 500 scilla (blue), and 100 winter aconite (yellow). I’ll be doing a lot of digging this fall.

The narcissus are to replace the daffodils that have petered out under my orange daylilies. The remaining bulbs are early spring bloomers to scatter around my larger plants. I get a big kick out of the first blooms of spring.

All of the bulbs except the aconite are rodent-resistant. I’ll have to sprinkle squirrel repellant atop the aconite.
