Fall is the perfect time to plant bulbs that will bloom next spring. Plant the bulbs as long as the ground is workable but get the following bulbs in the ground soon: trout lily, narcissus (including daffodil), snowdrop, winter aconite, starflower, and crown imperial. For crown imperial, add a little lime to the soil. Try some new varieties this year. Glory of the Snow tolerates partial shade and has white, blue, or pink starlike flowers. Striped squill is very cold-hardy and will do well under shrubs and trees and in borders.
