Planting Bulbs in the Garden or Containers.

It is important when planting bulbs to select good quality bulbs. Bulbs should not be soft, damaged, show any sign of disease or have a 'bad smell'. Start with good quality bulbs from reputable suppliers.

Bulbs need to planted at the correct time for maximum performance. Bulbs also need to be planted the correct way up and at the correct depth. The general rule for planting spring flowering bulbs is to place them 2-3 times as deep as the height of the bulb itself, pointy end up. Many summer flowering bulbs have different requirements, so ask for instructions if in doubt. Some bulbs need to be planted with the neck of the bulb at or above ground level.

Many bulbs perform well in pots, but be careful of watering requirements and also be aware that pots placed in the sun can get very hot.
