Landscaping with bulbs? where to start? I guess the most important bulb landscaping in my garden is the planting along the front boundary of my suburban home.Due to regulations which don't allow front fences to be built here I needed something to protect my garden from damage caused by children on their way to and from school, straying dogs and the local milkman cutting corners over my garden. The choice of a closely planted "hedge" of blue and white varieties of Agapanthus has proved very successful. By planting large clumps of daffodils,Gladiolus nanus varieties,Kniphofia Christmas Cheer and Ixias behind the Agapanthus and leaving room for some seasonal perennials and ground covers this has been very successful.The Agapanthus look so cool and fresh in the middle of summer and the rest are so welcome in late winter and spring.All the more as these have to hold their own with the not 1 but 2 Fraxinus oxycarpa trees planted as street trees by the powers that be. If I could get my hands on those reponsible for that choice I'd tell them what I thought, it wouldn't be pretty. In my sheltered back garden I grow clumps of woodland type cold climate bulbs in the shelter of my small collection of weeping Japanese maples, Crabapples and deciduous Magnolias, that is Galanthus,Crocuses,Trilliums, Fritillarias,Erythroniums,Eranthis and as many Arisaemas as I can get. These give me great pleasure in season and once they have died down the trees take over and shelter them from the worst of the summer heat. I hope this has given some idea of how I have tried to use some of my favourite bulbs in the landscape, Lyn Edwards Canberra approx Zone 8 U.S.D.A- hot dry summers and cold frosty winters
