Planting & Care Instructions

Planting Bulbs:

• Best Time to Plant: In fall, 6-8 weeks before the first frost.
• Depth & Spacing:
  • Large bulbs (tulips, daffodils, alliums): 6-8 inches deep, 4-6 inches apart
  • Small bulbs (crocuses, grape hyacinths, snowdrops): 3-4 inches deep, 2-3 inches apart
• Positioning: Place bulbs with pointed tips facing upward.
• Watering: Water well after planting to encourage root development.

Growing & Maintenance:

• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and insulate bulbs in winter.
• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist during the growing season, reducing watering once foliage dies back.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer in early spring and after flowering to nourish next year’s blooms.
• Post-Bloom Care: Allow foliage to wither naturally before cutting back, as this helps store energy for the next season.
• Dividing Bulbs: Every 3-5 years, lift and divide overcrowded bulbs in late summer to maintain vigorous growth.
