Tips for Beautiful Bulb Gardens

Plant bulbs at the appropriate depth and spacing to ensure proper growth and flowering. Apply a slow-release fertilizer when planting to provide essential nutrients throughout the growing season. Protect bulbs from pests such as squirrels by covering planting areas with mesh or wire. Water bulbs consistently during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent blooms to redirect energy back into the bulb for next year’s growth.
