bulb question from newbie gardner
Hi All
When do you plant the bulbs - as they are all sold in the garden centres. But I thought, if they are planted now, will they not get frozen to death in the winter. Sorry but I read the books from the library - they tell how to plant them, but not when. cheers Dan |

The message
from "DLee" contains these words: Hi All When do you plant the bulbs - as they are all sold in the garden centres. But I thought, if they are planted now, will they not get frozen to death in the winter. Sorry but I read the books from the library - they tell how to plant them, but not when. Most bulbs should be planted to overwinter in the ground. The more tender ones (like freesias) should be left till spring in colder areas. -- Rusty Hinge horrid·squeak&zetnet·co·uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm |

bulb question from newbie gardner
Plant your narcissi, hyacinths, muscari as soon as possible.
Plant tulips from November. Galanthus (snowdrops) and Eranthis (winter aconites) are reluctant to grow from dry bulbs, so they are best planted 'in the green' (post-flowering, leaves green) in early spring, to flower the following year. Sorry, haven't tried freesias on my London clay, so can't advise. Spider DLee wrote in message ... Hi All When do you plant the bulbs - as they are all sold in the garden centres.
