All Spring Planting Bulbs

Bulbs and tubers are the perfect way to add fantastic colour and scent to your garden. They are extremely low maintenance and very easy to care for. Planted in beds, borders or in containers they make fine displays and are very rewarding to grow.

Planting Bulbs

If not planted at once, store bulbs in a cool, dry place until planting time.

While successful in a very wide range of soils, most bulbs are intolerant of poor drainage so, if your soil is heavy, also dig in plenty of sharp sand or horticultural grit. For planting in containers, use general purpose compost unless otherwise stated. Bulbs are usually most effective when planted in groups.

Always plant bulbs and corms with the pointed growing tip facing upwards. If unsure, face any hair like roots downwards.
