General Planting Advice
Top Tips for Bulbs Planting:
1. Buying – When buying your bulbs, choose bulbs that are firm and feel heavy for their size. Reject any that are mouldy, damaged or feel soft.
2. Planting Depth – Bulbs generally need to be planted about twice their height depth.
3. Group Together – Plant bulbs in groups – odd numbers of bulbs in each group work the best. Generally the larger the group, the better the display looks. Single bulbs dotted around the garden never seem to make an impact.
4. Woodland Planting – If you are going for a random effect in a woodland/wild setting, throw the bulbs in front of you and plant them where the land. This helps to avoid a ‘regimented’ look.
5. Don’t Mix – Try not to plant a mix of bulbs together unless they are combination. Make sure to check flowering times and heights, as this can often lead to a disappointing show.
6. Container Planting – Most bulbs tend to do well in containers. Dwarf varieties will often echo the scale of the container.
Successional Display
Your garden and containers can look sensational for weeks if you choose bulbs for a successional display.
What to do if your bulbs fail to flower!
Where established clumps of your bulbs fail to produce a successful display, follow these simple steps to help revive them for the following years:
- Water and feed clumps throughout spring, and leave the stalks/leaves to die down naturally.
- Mark the position of underperforming clumps. Make a note in your diary to lift, divide and replant these bulbs in September-October.
- Replant at 3-4 times the depth of the bulb, into soil that has been improved with garden compost. Give each bulb its own space, so that it grows on strongly next spring.
- Repeat this autumn lifting and dividing every three-four years.
