Bulbs for Fall Planting

 

Spring flowering bulbs are planted in the fall. Late September is the time to begin, but spring bulbs can be planted up to December as long as the soil is not frozen solid.

In spring, nature unlocks her treasure chest to reveal the beauty of bulbs. The glorious displays in gardens and parks are the result of gardeners who plan ahead: Tulip, Daffodil, Hyacinth, Alium bulbs (Flowering Onion), Amaryllis, Anemone (Windflower), Chionodoxa (Glory of the snow), Crocus, Erythronium Pagoda (Trout lily), Galanthus (Common snowdrop), Ipheion (Spring Starflower), Leucoium aestivum (Summer Snowflake), Muscari armeniacum (Grape Hyacinth), Pansy.

How to plant bulbs

· .With bulbs, it pays to buy the best. Smaller, low quality bulbs may be somewhat cheaper, but the effort of planning and planting is the same. The results are much more rewarding if top-quality bulbs are planted.

· Give bulbs a good start. Place a handful of bonemeal in the planting hole - this will provide long-lasting nutrients and insure beautiful blooms for many springs to come. Dust the bulbs with Bulb Dust to protect against insects and disease. Be sure that the bulbs are watered thoroughly and regularly to encourage fast establishment before the onset of winter.

· Bulbs can be planted anywhere in the garden – in sun or shade, naturalized (planted and left in place to spread at will) in the lawn or in patio containers. They make an attractive show when planted under deciduous trees and shrubs as well as with groundcovers such as ivy and pachysanfra. Another idea: plant winter blooming pansies, early flowering forget-me-nots, or fragrant wallflowers with spring bulbs to provide an impressive show.

· Bulbs are best planted in clusters rather than singly. Several bulbs planted together tend to give each other support and provide a more spectacular show. Small bulbs should be planted in groups of 15 to 25, and large bulbs in fives or tens.

Early Emergence

Do not be concerned if the bulb foliage appears above the ground rather early. It has built-in insulation and can withstand quite a lot of cold. In the case of very hard, long frosts, mulch the area around the bulbs with soil, leaves, peat or well-rotted manure.

After-flowering care

After the blooms have finished, do not permit seed pods to form at the end of stems. The formation of seeds takes much of the energy of the bulb away from flower production for next year. Cut off the faded flower heads only and leave the stem and foliage to die down naturally. Feed with bulb fertilizer after flowering.

Bulbs are best left in the ground until they become overcrowded. When transplanting is necessary, wait until the foliage has dried out and can be easily separated from the bulb. Remove as much soil as possible and store the bulb in a dry, well-ventilated place. Discard any diseased or old bulbs and replant the healthy-looking bulbs in the garden the following fall.

Spring flowering small Bulbs

The following smaller-sized bulbs should be planted 3 to 6 inches (7.5 - 15cm) apart, or 9 to 16 bulbs per square ft.

Glory of the Snow (Chionodoxa lucilia). Cheery pink or blue flowers with white centers appear in March. Plant this in drifts or clusters for the best effect.

Grape Hyacinths (Muscari armeniacum). These quaint, clustered blooms are a spring delight. If left undisturbed, grape hyacinths will multiply over the years to form a glorious thick mat of foliage and flower. It flowers from March and into April.

Siberian Squill (Scilla siberica). Squills bear longlasting blue blooms from February to March.

Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis). Snowdrops begin to blossom in December and into January. In mass plantings, they bring delicate beauty and fragrance to the winter landscape.

Spring Crocus (Crocus ancyrensis, Crocus vernus). A multitude of colors can be found in the spring crocus group, from deep purples to yellows and white. Plant it in drifts anywhere in the garden including the lawn.

Wind Flower (Anemone blanda). Pink or white daisy-like flowers appear during February and March. Wind flowers will eventually colonize an area.

Winter Aconite (Eranthis hyemalis)is a low growing bulb with buttercup-like blooms in February, also an wonderful bulb to naturalize in wooded areas.

Winter Crocus (Crocus speciosus). These bulbs bear pink flowers in October and November. May be naturalized anywhere in the garden.

Spring flowering large Bulbs

The following, larger sized bulbs should be planted approximately 6. (15cm) apart or 9

bulbs per square foot:

Daffodils (Narcissus spp). Daffodils are springs official announcement of the warmer days to come. Available in two-tone or traditional clear-yellow as well as doubles, daffodils can be easily incorporated into any landscape. Dwarf varieties like Jack Snipe

are great in containers, and are strong enough to be naturalized in the lawn.

German Iris (Iris germanica) is available in white and many shades of blue, purple and yellow. Dutch irises make excellent cut flowers, and bloom in May and June.

Hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis). Hyacinth blooms are pink, white or blue and can be seen in March and April. They are wonderful in window boxes, where the fragrance can’t waft indoors, as well as in any formal planting.
