Hi all, Favorite bulbs for shade? In my case that has to be Veldtheimia brachteata. I Have a group of them growing under a Flambouant tree. It is so shady even the grass has a hard time surviving and what is nice about Veldtheimia is that it has a short dormant period of about 2 months so I have this lovely green patch with beautiful flowers for a month in their season.
