When and how to plant Bulbs and Tubers

I'll tell you how I plant the bulbs ...... and they come out 😊

In Autumn

Crocus bulbs: 10 cm deep (September - October)

Daffodils bulbs: 15 cm deep (September - October)

Hyacinths bulbs: 10 cm deep. I plant them a little deeper between crocuses and daffodils.

When the pot it's not too tall, I plant Hyacinths together with Daffodils

Lilies bulbs: 20 cm deep (Lilies can be planted at any time from September to March. As long as they are in by the end of March, they will be fine)

Tulips bulbs: 20 cm deep (in November)

Alliums: 15 cm deep

David & Goliath: 15 cm deep

Iris reticulata: 10 cm deep

Bluebell bulbs: 10 cm deep (Spring or Autumn)

Fritillaria: 20 cm (September to December)

Ranunculus corms: 8 cm deep (Autumn or Spring)

Snowdrop bulbs: 10 cm deep (Spring or Autumn)

In Spring

Gladiolus corms: 10 cm deep (in March)

Gladioli: (February to April)

Begonia tubers: 30 cm deep (Spring)

Dahlia tubers: 45 cm deep (Spring)

Ponerorchis tubers: 2.5 cm deep (Spring)

White Egret Orchid tubers: 2.5 cm (Spring)

All bulbs should be planted with the side where the shoot comes out at the top.
