Planting
Instructions for
'In the Green' Wild Flower Bulbs
It
is important that you plant your bulbs as soon as you receive them.
Planting
Depth:
It
is important that you plant your 'in the green' bulbs as soon as you
receive them.
If the earth is frozen solid, then you’ll need to wait until it
is crumbly again.
If you do need to wait for a couple of days, sink them in some
damp compost in a sheltered place, but don’t leave them there too long
or they’ll take root.
Make
sure that the roots get good contact with the soil when you’re
planting them and ensure that they do not dry out until they are well
established.
Generally,
the
size of the bulb will determine how deeply it should be planted - the
depth of soil above the bulb should be equal to the height of the bulb,
but there are exceptions. Snakeshead Fritillary, for example, should be
planted more deeply to avoid depredations by mice and other rodents.
Here are some approximate planting depths (ie from tip of bulb to soil
surface), but all of our bulbs will be labelled
individually:
Snowdrops - 5cm
Summer Snowflakes - 10cm
Daffodils - 10cm
Bluebells - 5-10cm
Snakeshead Fritillary - 10cm
Winter Aconite - 8cm
Please ensure that they do not dry
out.
Handling
Bulbs:
Care should be taken when handling bulbs as some may be poisonous and
others can cause skin irritations. Always wear gloves and wash your
hands immediately after handling bulbs.
