Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn, ideally between late September and early November, before the first hard frost.

For Pots (Layered Lasagne Planting)

1. Choose a deep pot (at least 30–35 cm deep) with good drainage holes.
2. Add crocks or gravel to the bottom for drainage.
3. Fill halfway with compost (use a free-draining, peat-free multipurpose compost).
4. Bottom Layer – Tulipa Orange Emperor:
   Place bulbs pointed end up about 20 cm deep, spaced apart but not touching.
5. Middle Layer – Hyacinthoides Alba Maxima & Muscari White Magic:
   Cover the tulips with 5–7 cm of compost. Plant hyacinthoides and muscari bulbs around 10–12 cm deep.
6. Top Layer – Crocus Golden Yellow & Chionodoxa Alba:
   Cover the middle layer with another 5 cm of compost, then place crocus and chionodoxa bulbs around 5–8 cm deep.
7. Top up the pot with compost to just below the rim, firm lightly, and water thoroughly.
8. Position:
   Place the pot in a sheltered outdoor spot. Once shoots appear, move to a sunny area to encourage flowering.

For Borders (Layered Lasagne Planting)

1. Pick a well-drained site in full sun or light shade.
2. Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 25–30 cm, removing weeds and mixing in compost if needed.
3. Layered Planting (optional in deeper soils):
• Tulips at 20 cm depth.
• Hyacinthoides and Muscari at 10–12 cm.
• Crocus and Chionodoxa at 5–8 cm.

Alternatively, plant in groups with natural spacing and varying depths for a more informal look.

1. Space bulbs 5–10 cm apart, depending on size.
2. Cover with soil, firm gently, and water well.
3. Leave undisturbed through winter. Growth begins in early spring with flowers emerging in succession.

Tips:

• Raise pots off the ground in winter to prevent waterlogging.
• Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulbs for the following year.
• Replace or top up compost in pots annually for best performance.
