Bulbs for Shade & Part Shade

A sprinkling of bulbs can add a bit of color and magic to partial shade gardens and to areas under deciduous trees where early spring sun is strong—before the tree’s leaves emerge—to form a shady canopy. Highlighted here are a number of bulbs we recommend for partial shade. From spring-blooming Galanthus (Snowdrops), Hyacinthoides (Bluebells), and Crocus to summer’s beautiful Lilies, there are plenty of choices to enliven shady spots.
