At this point in winter, a lot of us are doing the same thing—looking for signs of spring wherever we can find them. For many gardeners, that hope shows up first in bulbs. The promise of color, fragrance, and life returning after months of gray is hard to beat.⁠
⁠
That’s why bulbs are on our minds right now. And it’s also why we’re excited to share a first look at what’s coming next week. The American Horticultural Society bulb collection will be arriving in The Home Depot stores nationwide. ⁠
This was earlier this week in the warehouse - you can look out for displays with a beautifully curated selection of spring planting bulbs that will bloom throughout the season. ⁠
⁠
“I have always thought that bulb planting was something miraculous,” writes Jenny Rose Carey in the introduction to her book, “The Essential Guide to Bulbs.” (we reviewed it in the Sept/Oct issue of American Gardener). ⁠
⁠
We definitely agree with her. ⁠
⁠
There’s something about the anticipation of blooming bulbs, and the excitement when they finally begin to emerge. ⁠
⁠
If you’re dreaming beyond the display and thinking about how bulbs actually live in a garden, The Essential Guide to Bulbs is a smart place to linger. Jenny writes about bulbs not as one-off moments, but as long-term players—supporting pollinators, thriving in containers, and returning reliably when conditions are right.⁠
⁠
***If you spot our bulb display in your local homedepot store - please take a selfie with it, post it and tag us!!! - we are so excited to see this partnership 'in the wild' - We promise to re-share every AHS bulb display selfie that you share with us (and maybe just for fun tell us what you are planning to grow?).*** ⁠
