| How to Plant Spring Flower Bulbs |
| By: Dave Lavinsky |
Spring is the favorite season of many. It is a time of rebirth,
renewal, and rejuvenation. One of the greatest joys of spring is
the beautiful assortment of flowers. You can get this joy at
home by planting spring flower bulbs. These are bulbs that bloom
in early spring while other plants are still developing.
There are many spring flowering bulbs, but some of the most
popular are crocus, tulip, narcissus, and hyacinth. These bulbs
should be planted before the ground freezes, preferably in late
September or early October. This enables them to develop a
strong root system before the first frost.
Spring flower bulbs should be planted in an area that drains
well. Bulbs will rot in standing water. They must also receive
adequate sunshine--at least six hours daily. The soil doesn't
need any special treatment, but it should be loose and workable.
If you are working a new area, you might want to add some
compost or peat moss.
When it comes time to dig the hole, follow the package
directions. Most bulbs will require a depth of six to eight
inches, but loosen the soil for an additional four inches. Place
the bulb in the ground with the pointy end facing up. Pack the
dirt firmly and water thoroughly.
Spring flower bulbs require very little care. Simply water them
occasionally, and add a mulch cover when cold weather comes.
With a little water, sunshine, and luck, you will be blessed
with beautiful, fragrant blooms in early spring.
