Fall & Bulbs

[Paulo]

What are the bulbs I can plant during fall for next time flowers? I am in zone 5 (Toronto) and a shady area to prepare for next year

Thanks

-- Narcissus, blue squill, crocus, hyacinths, pushkinia, Iris reticulata, Dutch irises, Aconite, muscari, tulips, windflowers or anemone, alliums, scillia's, galanthus (snowdrops), Chionodoxia (Glory in the snow), Erythronium (Dog tooth violet), Oxalis adenophylla or Pink buttercups,and Leucojum aestivum or Graveye Giant Snowflake snowdrop.

the varieties of narcissus, muscari, tulips, alliums and other bulbs will keep you busy for awhile. There are also Siberian irises to consider for later bloom...........have fun! and remember, you won't have to fertilize these the first year. They come intact with everything they need. You can fertilize them once they perform.
