Plant spring flowering bulbs and dream of next spring! Small bulbs such as crocus and snowdrops do well to get into the soil quickly, so they don't lie around and dry. Are you unsure when to plant bulbs, how deep into the soil they should be?
Our small spade with measuring stick punched into the blade, is made to help you with exactly this. Be sure to sprinkle some onion fertilizer when you plant, for even better flowering. The beautiful and award-winning tulip 'Queen of Night' is considered to be the blackest tulip and a variety that I love to have in the garden. She blooms in May and is fantastic at highlighting other flowers in a planting. For best effect, plant her in groups of at least 10-15 bulbs.
