Autumn planted
bulbs
With regard to
bluebells, wild daffodils, snakeshead fritillary and
Wild garlic. Plant them about 2 to 2.5 times the size
of the bulb under the ground. A minimum depth should
be 2 to 3 inches
Plant Star of Bethlehem
about 2 inches deep and Wild Tulips about 4 inches
deep. Crocuses should be planted about 2/3
inches deep
Wood anemone should be
treated differently. Ideally they should be soaked in
water for a couple for hours before planting. They
should be then planted horizontally at about 1 to 2
inches depth and covered in soil or leaf
mould.
To create a random
effect lightly throw the bulbs over the area you want
to put them in. Then plant them where they have
landed.
On receipt of your
bulbs they should be planted as quickly as possible.
If this is not possible they can be kept by wrapping
them in damp newspaper.( wood anemones in particular
are susceptible if left to long or they dry
out) This can only be done for a few
days. Please try to keep planting areas
moist.
