It may feel like summer is still in full swing, but believe it or not, now is the ideal time to start planning your spring garden. Why? Because the show-stopping blooms of tulips, daffodils, alliums, and other spring favorites begin with bulbs planted in the fall.
At Rouvalis Flowers & Gardens, we specialize in creating vibrant, seasonal gardens for Boston homes — and planning ahead is key to ensuring your outdoor spaces burst with color when winter finally fades.
Why Plant Bulbs in Fall?
Spring-flowering bulbs need a period of cold dormancy to bloom beautifully. Planting in the fall (typically late September through November in Boston) gives them the time they need to settle in and develop strong roots before the ground freezes. Come spring, they’ll reward you with lush, colorful blooms that feel like nature’s celebration of warmer days ahead.
Our Favorite Bulbs for Boston Gardens
When designing a garden, we select bulbs that thrive in New England’s climate and complement your home’s style. Some of our go-to favorites include:
Tulips – A classic for bold color in April and May.
Daffodils – Bright, cheerful, and resistant to deer and rabbits.
Alliums – Architectural and dramatic, perfect for adding texture.
Hyacinths – Fragrant and colorful for early spring beauty.

Bulb planting isn’t just about dropping bulbs into the soil — it’s about creating a layered design that ensures continuous bloom from early spring through early summer. At Rouvalis, we take the guesswork out of timing, spacing, and color coordination.
