Some bulbs will last until the early perennials begin to bloom in May and June.
There are also some early blooming shrubs that can provide the garden with colorful flowers. Forsythia and witch hazel, for example, bloom long before many perennials even begin to emerge from the ground. In fact, in the middle of spring and early summer there are more shrubs and trees in bloom than at any other time of year.
Most early blooming perennials are very suitable for the shade garden. They are able to enjoy the sun, while still reaching the ground under deciduous trees, yet to form their leaves.
