To spotlight both the excellence and plight of heirloom bulbs, every year we honor two of them – one fall-planted and one spring-planted – as our Heirloom Bulbs of the Year. All of these honorees are exceptionally beautiful, garden-worthy, and historic, yet most of them are largely forgotten today, and many are slipping ever closer to extinction. The only way to save them is to grow them, and we hope you’ll help. Plant a few, see for yourself just how wonderful they are – and then help us tell the world about them!
