Bulb carpeting

In GALILEO, the Ebsco database, Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index

provides access to articles about gardens and plants, including topics such as horticulture, botany, garden and landscape design & history, ecology, plant and garden conservation, garden management, and horticultural therapy. A highlight of the database is its focus on environmentally sustainable horticultural and design practices. This index and abstract product is designed for gardening enthusiasts, professionals, and students of horticulture and of garden and landscape design & history. It covers more than 300 core serial titles that include general gardening titles of national, international, and regional interest, and titles devoted to specialty gardens and plant groups.

The title refers to the database as an index. However, you can limit your search to full text and find plenty of articles.

I searched for bulb planting and limited my search to 'full text'. 37 articles were retrieved. The first article The Changing World of Bulb Designs, fits nicely with my thoughts about planting now for a long lasting display. "The author suggests several methods of bulb planting in combination with perennial plants to avoid blank patches of land after the bulbs die, including tapestry design, bulb carpeting, and naturalistic designs of landscape designer Jacqueline van der Kloet."
I have something to think about as I get ready to design my spring display.
