This is the list of flower bulbs that you can find at the nursery this spring for summer flowers. All of these bulbs are zone hardy except for the dahlias. The dahlia is the one bulb in this list that you need to dig up, properly store over winter and then plant again each spring. The rest of these bulbs are fine to leave in the ground all winter long for blooms each summer. Our space is limited so we can only bring in so many bulbs each spring. Please visit us soon to make sure you get the supply you are looking for.
