Fall Planting for Flowering Bulbs

Tejvan Pettinger
Fall is the perfect time to plant flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils and crocuses because then the plants can establish a root system during the winter.

The rich yellows, oranges and reds of fall are dominant in the current October landscape, but it’s time to start thinking about the pinks, purples, and whites of Spring. 

Host Charity Nebbe sits down with  Iowa State University horticulturists Cindy Haynes and Denny Schrock. They discuss planning for planting bulbs of spring flower gardens, as fall is the perfect time to plant tulips and daffodils.
