Aaron's Favorite Bulbs
Grape Hyacinth - Muscari any species is great - low maintenance and very fun tucked in little corners!
Squill - Scilla siberica - As an Iowa Stater I can't help but love this little blue flower that is naturalized in turf areas all over campus
Ornamental Onion - Allium 'Giganteum' - its big....thats fun!
Species Tulip - Tulipa clusiana 'Lady Jane' - a beautiful small tulip that makes a better perennial than the large hybrid tulips
