Planting & Care

Tips on Growing Fall Planted Flower Bulbs

When you receive your fall bulbs (tulips, daffodils, etc.) keep them in a dry, dark, cool place until ready to plant. They need air circulation so they will not collect moisture and rot. Planting times can vary from early October in the North to mid-to-late November in the southern regions. A good rule of thumb is to plant them about 6 weeks before the ground is frozen or after the first hard freeze.

Soil Preparation for Bulbs

A compost-enriched, well-drained soil is best. Incorporate a good quality organic compost as needed. Yum Yum Mix® is recommended as an excellent source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needed for strong plants and healthy roots. Mix a small amount into the bottom of the hole before planting your bulbs.

Many bulbs prefer full sun exposure. However, Muscaria, Allium, Galanthus, Hyacinthoides, Scilla and many Daffodils will tolerate partial shade and bloom well.
Pink daffodils will hold their color longer if planted in dappled shade or morning sun/afternoon shade.

After planting, add a top dressing of compost or other organic material and water in thoroughly. If your winter is dry, water every three to four weeks throughout the winter and add more mulch if necessary.

Protect your Bulbs

Apply a mole or gopher repellent to the surface of the ground to protect bulbs from these burrowing mammals.

After your Bulbs have Bloomed

Once your bulbs have bloomed, allow the bulb foliage to brown and fade naturally since the leaves are feeding the bulb in the ground. Removal of foliage weakens the bulb and leads to fewer blooms the following year. Planting your bulbs amongst your perennials is one way to conceal the dying bulb foliage. The perennials begin to grow and fill out as the bulb foliage dies back. The perennials will then provide foliage and color in the garden from late spring through the summer and into fall. Regular fertilization with balanced organic or natural fertilizer and a re-application of mulch each fall will ensure more and more beautiful spring bulb blooms for many years!

Grape Hyacinth Make Me Happy

"I saw some grape hyacinth in a neighbor's yard several years ago and loved them. I finally purchased some for my yard last fall. They provide such a pretty pop of spring color, and the bees and bumble bees have already been scoping out my yard in early April because of them. I used them as a border around one of my apricot trees, and they make me smile every time I'm in the backyard."

— Lindsey (5/5)

Beautiful color

"After planting last fall, these all bloomed nice size and color amazing."

— Buffy (5/5)

Delighted us first thing

"Trying to grow more native pollinator feeder plants in my front garden. Love that the little hyacinths showed up before everything else. Added great color, and when they were done flowering, gave way for other plants to have their share of the limelight."

— Joan G. (5/5)

No Water Carpet of Flowers

"Denver gets only 12 in of water a year. These beauties make the low traffic areas of my yard into a carpet of flowers even without extra water. Like lilac's or tulips, they have become an essential part of my experience of spring."

— Shakti (5/5)

Wonderful

"Grape hyacinths are reliably hardy and good bloomers for me in spite of the cold winters and sizzling hot summers. They come back year after year more prolific than the year before. I've been planting grape hyacinths for years now and these from High Country Gardens are the best I've ever found. I'll plant more of these again this fall."

— Bugsy (5/5)

Strong + weather resistant

"Love the vigor of these flowers. Pur winter + early spring have seen record-breaking warm weather and virtually no snow. The bulbs came up early but survived three incidents of freezing weather with no snow cover. Now, they are growing vigorously, untouched by the deer + rabbits."

— Topper (5/5)

yes

"These are great flowering in spring. Rabbits will eat them though. Mine are screened off with chicken wire."

— Gardener D. (4/5)

Adorable filler

"Grape hyacinths are such cheerful fillers between my other bulbs. I love when they are in a long line long my walkways. They survive and multiply even through our long hot drought in Utah. Just beware you'll never get rid of them. They are very hardy and multiply quickly."

— Anne (5/5)

Gorgeous

"Love these sweet little flowers. I did layer plant these with some others and may replant in the fall since the height got a bit lost with some of the other bulbs."

— Ellen (5/5)

I would recommend this product.

"Came up early and lasted for months in snow and heat at 5,000'."
