Here are some great tips for planting bulbs for great spring colors. This particular design is perfect for a variety of reasons. First, it allows for the fastest-blooming bulbs to show up first in the outer-most areas. Next, as time goes along, each successive bulb will bloom and will actually be higher than the one in front of it.
Another great thing about this video is that it gives you the perfect plan for arranging the bulbs in a sensible fashion. You will want to plant the inner-most bulbs first, then work your way outward. If you are planting in a more traditional bed, plant the highest bulbs at the back and work your way towards the front. This will help you avoid stepping on soil that has already been planted.
Finally, if you miss your planting time, you can plant the bulbs in pots in the spring and then just transplant when the soil becomes workable. This makes for more work, but the results will be just as nice.
