Gardening tips: Planting flower bulbs for spring blooms
As autumn approaches, gardening experts recommend planting flower bulbs to ensure colorful blooms in the spring. Varieties such as crocuses, hyacinths, and daffodils are currently widely available in garden centers and supermarkets.
The Bavarian Garden Academy advises gardeners to select firm, healthy bulbs and avoid those with soft spots or signs of damage. Larger bulbs are generally preferred as they tend to produce more abundant flowers. While September and October are the optimal months for planting, November remains an option if weather conditions are mild.
For successful growth, bulbs should be planted at a depth approximately twice their height, with a spacing of two to three bulb widths between them. To prevent rot caused by waterlogging, it is essential to ensure well-draining soil, which can be achieved by adding sand or gravel to heavier soil types.
