With their wide range of colors and shapes, bulbs are essential to the gardener’s palette. They bloom throughout the year and offer endless possibilities, from the first snowdrops in the heart of winter to the last crocuses in autumn. This guide, organized by flowering periods, presents over 150 bulbs: their descriptions, planting and cultivation advice, all illustrated with stunning photographs by Jason Ingram. Designed and written by Lucy Bellamy, former editor-in-chief of Gardens Illustrated magazine, with contributions from leading landscapers and head gardeners, A Year of Flowers is a valuable guide for both novice and experienced gardeners. It will help you choose the most beautiful bulbs year-round for flower beds, lawns, meadows, or for your pots and planters.
