Flowerbulbs

Choosing your bulbs depends on the desired flowering period and location. Spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils are planted in autumn, while summer bulbs like gladiolus are planted in spring.

Consider the height of flowers to create balanced flower beds: crocus as borders, tulips in the middle of the bed and fritillaries in the background. Exposure is crucial: most bulbs prefer full sun or partial shade.

For a spectacular effect, plant in groups rather than individually. Choose varieties with staggered flowering periods to enjoy colors throughout the season.

Soil preparation and planting

Well-drained soil is essential to prevent bulb rot. Work the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and incorporate compost to enrich the substrate. The general rule: plant at a depth equivalent to 2-3 times the bulb's height.

Respect the planting distances: 10-15 cm between tulips, 5-8 cm for crocus. Point the tip upward and tamp down gently after planting.

Optimal planting calendar

Spring bulbs are planted from October to December, before major frosts. Summer bulbs are planted from March to May, depending on the region. This natural vernalization is essential for abundant flowering.

Maintenance and naturalization

After flowering, let the foliage yellow naturally to allow the bulb to rebuild its reserves. Remove dead flowers but keep stems and leaves. A spring application of bulb fertilizer promotes the next flowering.

To naturalize your bulbs, choose botanical varieties that multiply spontaneously and resist difficult conditions better.

When to plant tulip and daffodil bulbs?

Spring bulbs are planted in autumn, from October to December, before severe frosts. This cold period is necessary to trigger flowering the following spring.

At what depth should bulbs be planted?

Plant your bulbs at a depth equivalent to 2-3 times their height. For example, a 5 cm tulip bulb is planted 10-15 cm deep, point upward.

How to store bulbs after flowering?

Let the foliage yellow naturally for 6-8 weeks after flowering. This period allows the bulb to rebuild its nutritional reserves for the following year.

Can bulbs stay in the ground from year to year?

Yes, most bulbs are perennials and flower again each year. Some varieties like botanical tulips naturalize and even multiply spontaneously.

What if my bulbs don't flower?

Lack of flowering can be due to planting too shallow, soil that's too wet, lack of winter cold, or too frequent division. Respect the specific growing conditions for each variety.

How to protect bulbs from rodents?

Use fine mesh planting baskets or plant repellent bulbs like crown imperial fritillaries. You can also sprinkle dried blood powder around plantings.
