Flower Bulb Planting Care And Tips

by

The great thing about flower bulbs is that you plant them once and then with very little care, you get year after year of great blooms and flowers. They even often easily multiply and you can find new homes for them around your yard in many new places. Another added benefit of iris bulbs is the great curb appeal they provide. Iris bulbs for sale are sold on the internet in addition to lily bulbs for sale.

Some kinds of bulbs need shade, while others want full sun. No matter what conditions your garden has, you are sure to discover the perfect bulb to plant. Two of my favorite bulbs are lily bulbs and iris bulbs. Due to the large size of blooms and exceptional colors, these are often the most popular.

Bulbs can be planted in spring or fall. Each kind of bulb has different planting requirements so be sure to read the guidelines before purchasing your flower bulbs. When you plant bulbs in the fall, they have more time to get established before winter so they can get a good start in the spring. Some bulbs if planted in spring may not bloom that year if planted too late, but there are still a great deal of bulbs that can be planted in spring and bloom the first year with great results.

When bulbs are planted in the fall it is because (1) they keep better in the ground than when stored; (2) because they will get a small start in the winter and fall and be ready for the first heat of spring; (3) and because it is usually not possible to get on the ground soon enough in spring to have much chance of good blooming that season.

All these bulbs may be planted as soon as they are mature; but in practice they are held till late September or October before they are planted , as nothing is gained by planting sooner, and, moreover, the ground is usually not ready to receive them until older plantings are removed. The bulbs are dormant until spring, so far as appearances go; they are mulched to guarantee that they will not start growing in warm weather of winter or fall.

If you live close to deer populations, make sure to plant deer resistant plants. Many different times I have planted various plants which are eaten by deer only to be disappointed when it occurs. The package on the bulbs should indicate whether deer will eat them or not.

Order bulbs from a quality company as quality is very important when selecting your plants. Lily bulbs for sale are often a favorite along with iris bulbs for sale. Look for fresh and healthy bulbs. The good thing about ordering online is that the selection is so great. They ship them right to your door at the correct time for planting as well.
