Planting & Care

Tips on Growing Fall Planted Flower Bulbs

When you receive your spring-blooming bulbs (crocus, 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. For more information see our Planting Crocus Bulbs article.

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. As bulbs sprout, use our Deer Off Repellent to prevent deer and rabbits from browsing your spring blooms.

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!

First flowers of the season

"These were so fun to see coming up in the garden this year! I was so excited when I realized what I thought was a piece of yellow trash that blew into the garden was actually a sweet little crocus!! My four year old loved them too. The yellow ones were tiny little things but so sweet. The white ones were larger and looked so cute with the daffodils blooming near them and the purple ones were lovely too. Can't wait for them to spread and fill in more! #sweepstakes"

Yes would buy again

"Plant these little flowers on the south side of our house - they came up and started blooming in late March - such a welcome sign of Spring when we really needed to see their colors!"

— Pat (5/5)

Eager to see how they do next spring again

"I layered and planted these with other bulbs and I'm wondering if that was a good idea, because they got a bit buried in the other greens growing."

— Ellen (3/5)

I would buy this product again

"They all came up first year and were beautiful."

— Lse (5/5)

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

"These little guys are AMAZING! They are darling and bloomed in March giving hope that Spring was almost here. I loved them so much I would go out and stare at them everyday and bought some for my Mother-In-Law for her garden. i will buy so many more of these and plant them all over the landscape. The only downside is that I don't have any other early spring blooms so there's a large gap between these blooming and the next round in my garden. I'll have to figure out some other plants to pair with it :)"

Beautiful early bloomers; but beware squirrels

"I planted these in the ground and they came up beautifully. The first blooms began during the beginning of March. However, I underestimated the squirrels and left them uncovered -- a mistake I realized when around half the bulbs were dug up and eaten or bitten. I covered the rest afterwards. Still, I highly recommend this product."

Snow Crocus Mix. . . a breath of fresh springtime

"These crocus bulbs were the first harbinger of spring. They'd been planted here and there along the walkway, which had snow on and around it off and on. They keep the hope of warm weather alive!"

— Tita (5/5)

Sweet, petite and early!

"The yellow snow crocus were the very FIRST flowers to bloom in our SW high desert yard this year! :) Third week in February and I walked outside this morning to check on all of the HCG bulbs that I had planted last fall (no amendments, but I did mulch with tree leaves). And I saw these tiny, yellow, very alpine looking crocus buds! I checked on them about an hour later and they had already opened quite a bit more. I know that the other colors in the mix are right behind, as there are lots of grass-looking little shoots everywhere. These are just great for planting in a lawn, because they spring up before the grass is out of winter dormancy. So they wouldn't be mowed or overshadowed. To be honest, I had ordered so many bulbs last fall (planted October and November), and I put these in last. I was exhausted by then and simply carelessly scooped out some earth with my shovel and dumped these in the resulting dip. I didn't take any care to properly space or even arrange these upright. I dumped the shovel full of dirt back on top, plopped on a heavy layer of leaves, and maybe watered a few times that fall. In other words, they performed perfectly even with less than ideal treatment! I am extremely pleased, they are even more cute and endearing than I had thought from the photos. I'm especially happy that they should spread and naturalize, I look forward to continuing to enjoy these each early spring."

Lovely, tiny flowers

"HCG bulbs are very healthy. Great instructions on planting them. The blossoms were exquisite. They came up through the light snow cover at Easter, end of March in Montana at 5000'. The deer did eat the blossoms, not the leaves. I am looking forward to more of a show next year."
