When to buy and plant

Buy summer-flowering bulbs in spring. Plant according to the variety’s instructions; tender varieties may need to be started under cover and planted out only after frost risk has passed.

Planting and growing

Choose a position and compost suited to the variety. Follow the pack for planting depth, spacing and whether it suits a container or a border.

Aftercare

Water as needed and feed according to the variety’s guidance. Some plants need support. Check whether bulbs or tubers should be lifted, dried and stored frost-free over winter.
