This terrific spring border has been realized with 3 fabulous and acclaimed flowering bulbs. They are underplanted with a low-growing ground cover, Siberian Bugloss (Brunnera macrophylla), that blossoms simultaneously, creating an airy blue sea from which these elegant tulips seem to emerge in mid to late spring.
A planting idea that is ideal for beds and borders, banks and slopes, edging or containers. Enjoy!
