An absolute must-read for any gardener who wants to level up their gardening skills, The Essential Guide to Bulbs is a gorgeously photographed, comprehensive, and inviting resource that is destined to become a gardening classic. Bulbs have a universal appeal—they are extremely diverse with many varieties to choose from, and they are great in containers. While many gardeners may be familiar with the early show of spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips, there are many more to choose from that provide three-season color, drama, and spontaneity in the garden. Plus, they're great for a tighter budget.

Gardeners will discover:

How to recognize what bulbs you love and personalize your garden to match your vision
Planting techniques and design ideas for growing bulbs in any size garden
Incorporating bulbs for pollinators, and the importance of ecological methods
Tips for creating a brilliant bulb container garden in every season
A wide array of bulb varieties with in-depth planting information
