The primary bulb species used for gardens and
landscapes include: true bulbs, corms, tubers,
tuberous roots, rhizomes, and enlarged hypocotyls.
All are "Geophytes" and, collectively,
they are commonly called "Flower Bulbs".
Although each specialized storage organ is morphologically
different, their basic function is to serve as
an organ for survival of the species. In this
bulletin, we refer to specific underground storage
organs as corms, tubers, etc. only when citing
the genus or species.
Many ornamental flowering bulbs have the ability
to perennialize, that is, flower for three or
more consecutive years without being lifted. Information
on these types of bulbs and their general cultural
requirements isincluded in many books.
While this information has been prepared primarily
for professional gardeners and landscapers, it
should be useful for all flower bulb enthusiasts
and home gardeners.
