Simple Tips for Designing and Planting Spring Flowering Bulbs
Bulbs are the gateway to the garden. Plant them now and forget about them. By the time spring rolls around, the garden will be full of buds ready to blossom. And, with cooler temperatures, fall is the best season for planting. Whether you’re beginning a garden for the first time or tending an old one, planting flower bulbs has never been easier. Bulbs are a fantastic way to start or maintain a garden because they spring back up each year without any effort. But the key is to plant them correctly now. Don’t worry! The hardest part is deciding which flowers and a color scheme to use.
Planting Bulbs
Planting the bulbs is simple. Follow the steps below to create a flawless garden.
- Dig a hole 3-4 times deeper than the bulb height.
- Set bulbs firmly in place, following spacing guidelines.
- Sprinkle in a fertilizer made for bulbs such as Espoma’s Bulb Tone
- Cover with soil.
- Water thoroughly.
Design ideas
Remember when planting bulbs, plant more than you think you need and avoid the temptation to plant in single rows.
- For the most natural look, group them in a pyramid, rectangle or circular shape.
- For a camouflaged look, plant low bulbs in front of high. As the high ones die back, the low will cover the dying foliage.
- For a layered look, plant small bulbs in the same hole as large bulbs.
- For an entire spring of color, stagger bloom time by planting early, mid and late-season varieties together.
Flower bulbs are a low-maintenance way to expand or start a garden and create a stunning look year-after-year. You’ll be amazed at the beautiful array of color that pops up in the spring.
Buy spring flower bulbs now to prepare for the upcoming fall-planting season.
