Spring Bulb Display
Horticulture Research Center, So. Burlington, VT
Dr. Leonard Perry, Extension Professor

They following bulbs have been planted among the shrub rose display garden, and are labeled. Bloom is from early April to late May, best time depending on the season. Most tulips are treated as annuals, and so only may be present the spring after planting (year=fall planting).
