š When to plant Mixed Combination bulbs
This is just an indication because it is a mix of different types of bulbs. But in general, the best time to plant your Mixed Combination Bulbs is in the fall, approximately 4-6 weeks before the first frost in your region. Planting during this period allows the bulbs to establish strong root systems before winter, resulting in a vibrant and colorful display in the spring.Ā
š¦ Storing your Mixed Combination bulbs
If you can't plant the bulbs immediately upon arrival, it's crucial to store them correctly. Keep the bulbs in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Make sure to inspect them for any signs of damage or mold before planting.
šæ Preparing your garden for planting Mixed Combination bulbs
Select a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 8-10 inches and mix in some organic compost for added nutrients. Clear the area of any weeds or debris to ensure your bulbs have ample space to grow.
š± How to plant your Mixed Combination bulbs
Planting your bulbs is easy! Dig individual holes or a larger trench, depending on the number of bulbs. The general rule of thumb is to plant bulbs at a depth three times their size. Space the bulbs according to the instructions provided with your order. Once placed in the holes, cover them with soil and gently pat down the surface.
š§ Watering & caring tips
After planting, water the bulbs thoroughly to help settle the soil and initiate growth. Throughout the fall and winter, provide adequate water to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. As spring approaches, adjust watering based on weather conditions, ensuring the soil doesn't dry out completely.
šø How to keep your Mixed Combination blooming
Once your Mixed Combination Bulbs start blooming in the spring, deadhead faded flowers regularly to encourage new blooms. Keep the garden tidy, remove any spent foliage, and be cautious not to cut the green leaves, as they provide essential nutrients to the bulbs. After the blooming season, allow the foliage to wither naturally before trimming it back.
