The green Cape Hyacinth from my own garden. Well, not really my own garden, they come from Eric Breed's garden. Eric once won seeds from a beautiful large green Galtonia viridiflora that was blooming very beautifully in his garden. After years of care they emerged just as beautiful as the mother plant.
'What now?' Eric asked this summer when I walked into his garden, 'on the Fluwel website of course, beautiful plants, aren't they?'. We can make many a gardener happy with that.
When planting them, remember that they can freeze. They will survive light frost, but in severe frost they will need a winter cover, or even better, keep them frost-free in the shed.
Planting flower bulbs
When should I plant my flower bulbs? If you want beautiful flowers such as tulips and daffodils in your garden in the spring, you will need to plant flower bulbs in the fall. This can be done as soon as the leaves fall from the trees. Make sure that the spring bloomers are in the ground before the frost sets in.
Summer bloomers such as dahlias and lilies should be planted in the spring so that they bloom in the summer.
Planting flower bulbs is not complicated at all. The same principles apply in principle:
- do not plant the bulb too deep in the ground (usually between 8 and 18 centimeters)
- provide good natural conditions
- be frugal with fertilizer and let the bulb do its work
