jhs2327: Wow! Quite an expectation for "bulbs" to perform all season in zone 7a/b. To the best of my knowledge, all of the bulbs you have mentioned are Spring bulbs, either early/mid or late, but still Spring. Then you will have to think about another planting of something that will take you from late Spring to late Fall?? And you will have to bear in mind, that you can't cut the green off your bulbs after they have bloomed, because the greenery still left is what refuel the bulbs for the next year. While I "stagger" planting of a lot of plants so I have production as long as I am able, (Gladiolas and Dahalias good case in point) I have never heard of that being done with "Spring" bulbs, and I have hundreds of Daffodils, Tulips and everything in between. If you figure out a solution to year round Spring bulb blooming, let the Dutch know, and me too! Cheers! PS. You have to think of timing, and what you can plant in the same beds, or place in pots on top, to keep things blooming along the rest of the year. Lots of options, just have to think it through.
