Bulb planting guide

Four steps to a spring full of colour

When to plant

Plant daffodils, crocus and most spring bulbs from September to the end of October. Tulips are best planted in November, even into December.

How deep

A good rule is to plant bulbs at two to three times their own depth, pointy end up. Tulips like to go a little deeper.

Where to plant

Most spring bulbs love sun or light shade and well-drained soil. Add grit to heavy clay to stop bulbs rotting.

Lasagne pots

Layer bulbs in a pot: tulips at the bottom, daffodils in the middle and crocus or muscari on top, for months of colour.

Questions

Spring bulb questions

Where can I buy spring bulbs in Bradford?

ACW Garden Centre on Canal Road, Bradford BD2 1AL has a large range of spring flowering bulbs from Taylors and Prins, including daffodils, tulips, alliums, hyacinths, crocus, dwarf iris, snowdrops, muscari and anemones. Bulbs are sold in store.

When should I plant spring bulbs?

Plant daffodils, crocus, hyacinths and most spring bulbs from September to the end of October. Tulips are best planted later, in November, and can go in up to December.

How deep should I plant bulbs?

As a rule, plant bulbs two to three times their own depth with the pointed end facing up. Tulips can go a little deeper, which helps them come back year after year.

Can I plant bulbs in pots?

Yes. Most spring bulbs grow well in pots. Try a lasagne pot, with tulips at the bottom, daffodils in the middle and crocus or muscari on top, using peat-free compost with added grit.

Can I buy loose bulbs?

Yes. We have pick and mix loose bulbs in paper bags, including miniature narcissi, tulips, dwarf iris, crocus and hyacinths, as well as bulk nets of daffodils and tulips for larger plantings.

Can I buy bulbs online?

Not at the moment. Our spring bulbs are sold in store, so please visit us on Canal Road or call 01274 392344 if you are looking for a particular variety.
