Some garden flowers are like old friends—disappearing in winter, returning exuberant in late spring. Easygoing summer bulbs: callas, dahlias, gladiolus, Asiatic and Oriental lilies—reliable in beds or containers.
Pot a few for patio display or plant where visible from indoors. Enjoy vivid colors and obliging nature.
Rich, fast-draining soil (3 in. compost amendment). Depth rule: 3× bulb diameter. Some need deeper. Stake tall dahlias/lilies at planting.
| Bulb | Spacing | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Calla (hybrids) | 8–12 in. | 3–4 in. |
| Dahlia (small) | 1–2 ft. | 3–4 in. |
| Dahlia (large) | 3–5 ft. | 6 in. |
| Gladiolus (small) | 4 in. | 2–3 in. |
| Gladiolus (large) | 3–5 ft. | 4 in. |
| Lily (small) | 6 in. | 4–5 in. |
| Lily (large) | 1 ft. | 6 in. |
