Where do I plant my bulbs?
Choose a location with well-drained soil and good sunlight. Good drainage is crucial to prevent bulb rot. Use pots with drainage holes or ensure containers are watered sparingly to prevent waterlogging. Verve offers Bulb Planting Peat-Free compost and a variety of plant pots to help with this.
How do I plant my bulbs?
Place the bulb with the pointed end (shoot) facing upwards, space bulbs at least twice their width apart. Plant in groups of at least six bulbs for a better visual effect.
What tools do I need for planting bulbs?
For efficient spring bulb planting, use a Hand Bulb Planter or trowel to achieve the perfect depth. Protect your hands with Verve gardening gloves and stay comfortable with Verve kneepads to help prevent strain or injury whilst you work.
How do I store my bulbs before I plant them?
Keep bulbs in a cool, dark place if you can’t plant them immediately. Tulips can be planted later, even into early winter, which can protect them from diseases.
