Is there any garden chore more satisfying than tucking a plump flower bulb into the soil, knowing that in spring, when you need color and life the most, you will be greeted by so much beauty? Such a huge reward for such a small task. Like <a href=\"https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/annuals-perennials\/bulbs\/2011\/09\/24\/my-top-5-must-have-bulbs-for-fall-planting-and-spring-bloom\/\" target=\"_blank\">last season<\/a> and many, many seasons before, we purchased our bulbs through Colorblends. However, I made a conscious effort to keep this batch as small as possible. It&#8217;s really easy to rack up hundreds of dollars worth of bulbs in your cart, isn&#8217;t it? Choosing just a few different blends was tough, but I narrowed it down to these three choices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8825\" title=\"Hyacinth Bulbs from Colorblends | Hedgerow Rose\" src=\"https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hyacinth-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"933\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hyacinth-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose.jpg 933w, https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hyacinth-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hyacinth-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose-465x308.jpg 465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colorblends.com\/Hyacinth\/Hyacinth-Etouffee\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hyacinth Etouffee<\/strong><\/a> ~ A blend of 4 pastel shades (pinks, purples and peaches), and blooming in early spring. Hyacinths have such an intoxicating scent and we love how early they come up in our garden so this fall I planted them in groups along our front sidewalk. I get a billion deliveries for work so the least I can do is give the delivery folks something pretty to look at whilst lugging all that mail to my door. By the way, I recommend wearing gloves when handling hyacinth bulbs although the photo above shows me holding one in my bare hand. Hyacinth bulbs can cause irritation in sensitive skin.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8827\" title=\"February Gold Daffodil Bulbs from Colorblends | Hedgerow Rose\" src=\"https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/February-Gold-Daffodil-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"933\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/February-Gold-Daffodil-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose.jpg 933w, https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/February-Gold-Daffodil-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/February-Gold-Daffodil-Bulbs-from-Colorblends-Hedgerow-Rose-465x308.jpg 465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colorblends.com\/Daffodil\/February-Gold\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>February Gold Daffodils<\/strong><\/a> ~ Recalling <a href=\"https:\/\/hedgerowrose.com\/annuals-perennials\/bulbs\/2012\/02\/27\/tete-a-tete-daffodils\/\" target=\"_blank\">this post<\/a> I wrote last February about\u00a0T\u00eate-\u00e0-T\u00eate daffodils I wanted to purchase some very early blooming daffs for forcing indoors this year but wouldn&#8217;t you know it I ended up planting all of them in the garden anyways.

The daylilies I planted a few summers ago are finally filling in and I planted a &#8216;Sally Holmes&#8217; hybrid musk rose, too, last summer. (More on both soon). Daffodils are great to mix with daylilies because just as their yellowing foliage starts to look ragged, the leaves from the daylilies fill them in to make a clever disguise. There are 20 different varieties of daffodils in this Spring Loaded Mix and every fall I hope to put more in this garden.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it for now!
