Many gardeners look forward to this time of year, when bulb catalogs start hitting mailboxes and you can begin to explore different options for tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, fritillaries, alliums and other spring blooms to brighten up your garden. Grab a spot in the shade and start exploring bulb catalogs!

Be sure to get your order in early as some bulbs sell out quickly. Once your order is set, the bulbs will be shipped and delivered at the proper planting time for Middle Tennessee, which is usually late October to early November. Here at Cheekwood, our garden staff is already busy planning for the 2018 Cheekwood in Bloom display, which will be on view from March 17 – April 22, 2018. Be sure to mark your calendars!
