Dreaming of vibrant flowers adorning your garden or balcony come spring? Now's the ideal time to plant flower bulbs. As seasoned horticulturists at Bakker, we've seen firsthand how many bulbs thrive after enduring winter frost, delivering spectacular spring displays.
Why plant flower bulbs now? Before temperatures plummet, bulbs need time to establish robust roots. This ensures they withstand winter and produce more abundant, longer-lasting blooms.
Expert tips for planting flower bulbs
– Plant at the right depth: Cover the bulb with soil 2 to 3 times its height. For a 5 cm bulb, dig 10 to 15 cm deep.
– Position with the 'nose' pointing up.
– Space them properly: Allow about 15 cm between daffodils and 2.5 cm for crocuses—check specifics for your bulbs.
– For pots, ensure excellent drainage: Add holes at the base and layer with potsherds or clay granules before soil.
