Bulbs that return to the garden year after year!

Nice to know things about naturalized bulbs

• For bulbs that naturalize, choose a planting location that will not be spaded and where they can be left undisturbed to ‘do their thing’. This will maximize their performance and give you the best display.
• Insects love them; bumblebees, for example, are frequent visitors. Even when nothing else is in bloom, the early bulbous plants are already providing them with enough nectar.
• These are low-maintenance plants providing significant viewing pleasure with little work.

Caring for Perennial Bulbs

• Planting Depth: Ensure you plant bulbs at the correct depth, usually two to three times their diameter.
• Feeding: After blooming, it’s essential to leave the foliage until it naturally dies back. This allows the plant to photosynthesize and store energy for next year’s blooms. You can also apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring.
• Watering: Bulbs don’t like to sit in wet soil. Ensure your soil drains well to prevent rot.
• Division: Over time, some bulbs, like daffodils or irises, may become overcrowded. Divide and replant them every few years to keep them healthy and blooming.

By incorporating these perennial bulbs into your garden, you can ensure a vibrant and colorful display for years to come. With a bit of care and maintenance, these plants will reward you with their beauty season after season.
