Spring Despatch
Bulbs |
All our bulbs are freshly
dug and carefully packed in moss to ensure that they reach you in
good condition. Please do not let your bulbs/corms dry out. We recommend
that you plant them as soon as possible, ideally in the shade of
deciduous trees and shrubs. If this is not possible, please “heel”
them in until you are ready to plant them in their final position.
They are woodland plants and prefer soils with a fairly high humus
content. An autumn surface dressing of bone meal can be beneficial. Planting depths: Aconites: 3cm to 6cm deep Snowflakes: 10cm to 15cm deep Snowdrops: 5cm to 12cm deep Once established, snowdrop clumps should be divided regularly, either when flowering or just after, being careful to avoid damage or drying out of root hairs. |
