Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your mixed flower bulbs is straightforward, ensuring a magnificent display of early spring flowers. These bulbs generally prefer a location with full sunlight, meaning they should receive at least six hours of direct sun per day. However, some varieties within the mix may tolerate partial shade, particularly in hotter climates where afternoon sun can be intense. Good drainage is crucial; bulbs will rot in waterlogged soil. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost or peat moss to improve aeration and drainage. A slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal for most flowering bulbs.

Planting depth is typically two to three times the height of the bulb, with the pointed end facing upwards. Space the bulbs about 4-6 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation. After planting your fall planting bulbs, water them thoroughly to settle the soil around them. During their dormant period over winter, they usually don’t require additional watering unless the season is exceptionally dry. Once foliage emerges in spring, water regularly if rainfall is insufficient, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release bulb food at planting time, or in early spring as new growth appears. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage the plant to put energy into the bulb for next year’s display, but allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally before removing it, as this process replenishes the bulb’s energy reserves. These cold hardy bulbs are generally resistant to common pests and diseases when properly cared for.
