Planting Advice – 300 Summer Bulb Collection
Your bulbs will enjoy a warm, sunny position, in fertile, free-draining soil. Heavy, clay soil can be improved by digging in 1-2 buckets of coarse sand per square metre.
To plant, dig individual holes for each bulb or a trench if you’re planting in groups. Place bulbs in the holes without pushing down hard. Make sure the growing point is pointing upwards, then cover with soil.
Use the bulb as a guide and plant it two or three times its depth. Space them approximately two to three bulb widths apart.
Many summer bulbs are ideal for growing in patio containers, especially the more tender species, which can then be stored over winter.
Store the bulbs in dry paper bags or trays of almost dry sand in a frost-free place.
