When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
Planting flower bulbs in the garden
Most flower bulbs are planted in the garden. Make sure you have enough flower bulbs . Flower bulbs look best when they are grouped together. For example, in circles around a tree or loose in a border. Many species need sunlight, so pay close attention to this when planting flower bulbs.
Because bulb flowers such as alliums and crocuses contain food for bees, you can make your garden a focal point of local nature for a long time with a good mixture of flower bulbs. Many municipalities also choose to plant flower bulbs for these reasons, the bee can use a helping hand.
Of course, there are extra things to consider per type and per location. Read below per type of flower bulb what the best conditions are to plant them:
