Time to plant spring-flowering bulbs

Here’s the clean, semantic HTML reformatting of the job posting (though this appears to be a garden article, not a job posting—reformatted as requested if it were one):

Spring-flowering bulbs like tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, crocus, and iris must be planted in the fall to bloom the following spring. Groupings of bulbs can accent landscapes, borders, or naturalized settings among evergreens and trees, providing color from January to May.

Uses and Planting Tips

• Effective in borders, bedding, or as background color.
• Outstanding when planted in drifts or mixed groupings for extended seasonal color.
• Suitable for containers on patios, near entryways, or indoors.

Bulb Varieties

• Crocus: Early bloomers (late February) in white, lavender, purple, yellow, or striped; 4–6" tall; return yearly.
• Daffodils: Bright yellows, whites, and pinks; thrive in gardens or naturalized areas; deer- and rodent-resistant; multiply annually.
• Paperwhite Narcissus: Fragrant white clusters; can be forced indoors for Christmas blooms.
• Hyacinths: Highly fragrant; best in formal plantings, containers, or near high-traffic areas; less effective for naturalizing.
• Tulips: Wide color/height/shape variety; plant in borders, rock gardens, or containers. Most last 1–2 years, but Darwin Hybrids and Emperor Tulips return yearly.
• Companion Bulbs: Chionodoxa ("Glory of the Snow"), Muscari ("Grape Hyacinths"), Iris reticulata, Puschkinia, anemones, and ranunculus for early spring ground cover or under shrubs.
