- To ensure good results it is important to use well decomposed compost, and a handful of bonemeal per m2 before planting.
- Plant your bulbs in groups of 12-15 bulbs, together, covering roughly half a m2, rather than trying to stretch out the area by planting next to each other.
- Plant in a group formation. All bulbs should be planted to a depth of about twice the bulb height.
- Use plenty of compost and bulb food when planting.
- Always plant with the point up, except in the case of Ranunculas – here you plant the claw-like bulb downwards. The distance apart is 3x the width of the bulbs.
Use a handful of 2:3:2 fertilizer per m2 about 2 weeks after planting to encourage growth.
