Could your patio use a bit of reviving in these months? With ready-to-use spring bulbs you can create a transformation in no time. Look, colour!
While you were running around in your raincoat in the autumn, flower bulb growers were working hard growing flower bulbs. Since January the bulbs have been ready to start flowering. Take a look at your garden centre or florist. They are all waiting for you: bright pink hyacinths, canary yellow tulips and bright blue or white grape hyacinths.
You can plant bulbs in pots, or if you have a garden, in full soil. The fresh outdoor air ensures that these spring flowers flower really well. You only have to give them a bit of extra water with dry weather. Plant the spring bulbs when the temperature is above nil. Don’t worry if it is hanging around freezing point but if we get a sharp frost, you would be better to bring the flowering bulbs inside.
Oh, if everything was this easy!
Step 1: Buy ready-to-use spring bulbs. Mix and match colours or choose different bulbs with the same colour.
Step 2: Remove the growing pot and plant the flowering bulbs in full soil or baskets, tubs or pots.
Step 3: Just wash your hands, go outside onto your patio and take a deep breath. Can you smell the spring?
