When is the best time to plant bulbs?

When it comes to planting bulbs, autumn is the best time to do it so they can produce strong roots before winter and your garden can blossom come spring. If you notice any gaps in your garden throughout the year, choose bulbs that will appear and give colour when your garden is at its barest.
