Don’s Tips: Bulbs

Bulbs

Believe it or not, bulbs of plants like daffodils, tulips, hyacinths etc. will arrive at your local nursery or hardware store in February.

While it is a bit too soon to plant them, it is a good time to buy the bulbs as the best range of varieties and colours is on sale now.

Just put the newly purchased bulbs in the garage or under the house for the next month or so.

Really cold climate bulbs appreciate being in the vegetable crisper (NOT the freezer) in the fridge for about 6 weeks prior to planting. The cold climate bulbs are tulips, daffodils, hyacinths & crocus.

Bulbs do really well in pots as well as in the ground. They are very easy to grow too.

Think about bulbs – they celebrate spring so very well.

Hooroo!
