A description contrasts perennially growing bulbs with tulips that shed layers annually. It explains how certain bulbs accumulate new layers yearly, increasing in size, while tulips do not exhibit year to year expansion and shed previous growth.
The article explains bulbs as food packed for winter survival and outlines common spring flowers growing from bulbs such as tulips crocuses and daffodils. It details bulb structure tunics and the need for proper planting times before frost varying by climate and notes some bulbs like dahlias and lilies can be planted in spring for summer blooms.
Spring blooming bulbs grow in sun or shade and avoid low soggy sites. Dig long beds or individual holes, 8 inches deep for large bulbs or 5 inches for small. Loosen soil, remove weeds, mix in peat moss or compost, place bulbs pointed side up, cover with soil and water well.
Washington state dominates U S tulip production with about 450 of 800 acres for bulbs. Skagit Valley provides climate that avoids deep freezing in winter and supports steady growth in spring and summer. Bigger bulbs yield larger flowers as leaves feed the bulb while plants stay alive.
