Fall Bulbs

Fall bulbs are planted in the fall / autumn and will break out in the springtime. With the barren limbs and the sun making its way to the ground there should be no problem having beautiful flowers from bulbs in your shade garden in the spring.

You must take into account the amount of sun your area provides through the day though, some do require full sun all the time whereas others do not.

When planting these bulbs, make sure you plant them to the depth according to the instructions on the package. Give them good quality soil and some bone meal purchased at your local garden center.

One of the most exciting moments for a gardener in the spring is to see bulb plants bursting through the soil. It is well worth the work you put in the autumn to prepare your garden ready for the spring.

So don't forget to get your bulbs ready in the fall! For the best results, they need to be planted in the autumn so they benefit from the natural cold spell during winter and will produce much better flowering plants during spring.
