Planting
Depending on the variety, summer bulbs should be planted in spring or autumn. Keep an eye out for when they are available in stores, as that’s your sign to get planting. Plant summer bulbs in a full sun position with at least six hours of sunlight each day. If you are planting for cut flowers, plant in a shadier spot, as the reduced sunlight encourages longer stems, making them ideal for cut flower arrangements. When planting in the garden, consider planting into raised beds for improved drainage. Alternatively, if planting in a particularly wet spot, plant in a slight mound. Fork the soil and add Gypsum ClayBreaker and Kings Potting Mix if needed. When planting in pots, be sure to choose one with enough space for the bulbs to grow. Opt for well-draining mix without water storage crystals such as Kings Potting Mix.
