Gardening guide for autumn bulb planting

To ensure successful spring blooms from bulbs such as tulips and daffodils, planting should occur during the autumn. These plants require a period of low temperatures to develop properly, making it essential to plant them before the first heavy frost.

In continental Slovenia, the ideal planting window is typically from mid-to-late October, though in warmer regions, it can extend into the first half of November. For best results, bulbs should be planted in sunny locations receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. A general rule for planting is to place the bulb at a depth two to three times its height, with the pointed end facing upward.
