Planting Bulbs
If not planted at once, store bulbs in a cool, dry place until planting time.
While successful in a very wide range of soils, most bulbs are intolerant of poor drainage so, if your soil is heavy, also dig in plenty of sharp sand or horticultural grit. For planting in containers, use general purpose compost unless otherwise stated. Bulbs are usually most effective when planted in groups.
Always plant bulbs and corms with the pointed growing tip facing upwards. If unsure, face any hair like roots downwards. CAUTION: Do not eat any of these bulbs and keep out of reach of children. Contact with all parts of Allium, Narcissus and Tulip may cause skin or eye irritation and all parts of Tulip may cause severe discomfort if ingested. Show less
