Re: Spring bulbs, too late ?

That's the bulbs in now, just in time for the snow

My friend collected some leaves and used them as a mulch on the east facing border. I still have around 80 left, and they are going in next week, if we don't have a few inches of snow. Good luck to them then!

Re: Spring bulbs, too late ?

Not a great flower grower.

But with the early flowering flowers they flower and then the bulbs in the summer enrich them selves to grow again in early spring.

So should be all right to plant now they have taken up their goodnes for the next year

I have them in my garden that have started to grow but they are still dorment and will not produce their flowers till the late winter or early spring depending on the temps

Do remember a few years ago a we had very mild winter down south and the Daffs had flowered in mid Feb but most were dead at the end of Feb to 3 week in March.

Couple of years later the Daffs lasted to the end of April.


Put them in if they don't flower they will the next year
