We've got a bunch of long-blooming summer-fall perennials planted about as close as you can get away with to each other. Not right up against each other, but as much as we could get in there. Black-Eyed Susan Goldstrum and Goldster, Becky Shasta Daisies, Echinacea, E. Friesland Purple Salvia, Catmint, Hidcote and Provencal Lavendar, Liatris (Gayfeather), Smooth Aster Blue and Raspberry, Coreopsis, Snowcap Shasta Daisies, etc. Which spring flowers would you plant between the perennials?

We have a dedicated bulb flower bed with crocuses, hyacinths, tulips and irises, but we realized that the perennials areas will look pretty bare all spring, with just dark mulch with only the first perennial leaves popping through at some point.

Also will it be a problem providing Espoma bulb food AND Espoma Plant food to the same bed? Should we put the bulb food in the hole with individual bulbs?
