Plant bulbs in a scattered pattern

-

Plant spring flowering bulbs, such as narcissus, crocus or species tulips, into areas of lawn or under trees and shrubs where they can naturalise and make a lovely permanent seasonal spring feature. Create the natural look by scattering bulbs randomly on the surface and plant where they land. Make sure they are planted in a hole with a depth that measures 2-3 times the bulb’s height. Lift turf if needed, plant the bulbs then press the turf back. Correct planting depth helps them to flower reliably year after year.
