Autumn is the best time to take care of the spring bloom of the garden by planting crocuses, tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, muscari, anemones and other bulbous plants in the flower beds laid out in front of the house.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the success of the wintering of flowers and the splendor of their flowering will depend on how correctly you do this.
It is not only the planting time or the place where the flowers will grow that is important, but also the depth to which the planting material will be lowered.
If you don't know the specific values for a particular plant, use the universal rule of three bulbs.
However, if you plant the bulbs a little deeper, then although flowering will begin with some delay, the plants will be stronger, just as their flowering will change for the better.
The explanation for this amazing fact is that the soil has a higher temperature at depth, due to which the process of root formation of bulbous plants will be more successful. A strong root system is the key to abundant flowering.
In addition, it is worth remembering that moisture at depth also remains longer, which will undoubtedly help flowers that find themselves in conditions of a snowless winter and a dry spring.
However, it is worth remembering that each case is individual, and the bulbs should not be buried too deeply. The maximum permissible value is 5 sizes.
