A M A Z I N G ! ! ! Best video on late planting bulbs and showing results I've seen. Thank you!

I love when people approach when things go awry in gardening videos. I've become someone who plants all her bulbs late for whatever planting season it is. I find that fertilizing while planting, and side dressing in the spring and fall mean you'll get gorgeous bulbs each time. Bulbs are so forgiving! Thanks again for this informative and beautiful time lapse :)

So funny, I just planted some bulbs last weekend because... why not ? 😂😄😅😆😉

@@LauraStepney tulips are really gorgeous, we are still several weeks away from ours coming up, but I am really excited 😜

When shopping I felt s much pity for leftover tulip and daffodil bulbs and got them very cheap. Now they are already developing roots. Even when flowers were not induced because the bulbs were not exposed to the cold for 8 weeks they will be getting green leaves now and blossom next year. Hi from Germany. Subscribed and added this encouraging video to my playlist.

@@LauraStepney That's what I started in childhood with rescued plants, then I did an apprenticeship in gardening and studied biology /botany. A never ending love.

These are my fav type videos!! You did amazing. Your flowers were magical

If you are in the growing zones, they grow the best in your garden. If you have an apartment with a balcony, remember not to water these in large pot. They rot very easily. The bulbs grow roots in almost dry soil. Once the roots are well developed, you can start watering. The reverse process for the summer needs to stop watering and let the pot dry out. In general, these bulbs are timed to grow best in cool spring, so they like it cool to grow. Hot temperature quickly put them into sleep. Put them into the garden then they take care of themselves. You are released from all the work.

Thanks for sharing! I just purchased tulip bulbs on sale so I'll be planting them directly mid to late February. I'm really not sure what will happen but your update gave me some hope! 🤞

Every year I plant in terracotta pots in October through to January in England to stagger the flowering period. They all come up including the ones planted late January.

You make me so happy :D Because: I still need to plant SO MANY bulbs (directly in the garden), but the weather is not cooperating... Maybe next week hehe...

Oh no! As long as the bulbs are still firm I'm sure they'll be fine, they might just bloom late :) Happy planting!

Oh---bless you for your success. Now off I go with a more positive outlook to plant my bulbs, Allium.!

Oh my gosh what a beautiful video. I have hope. They bloomed so beautifully. Perfect music. Thank you for this follow up.

Last year I had a box full of different tulips and daffodils that I had not had a chance to plant in the fall. I threw them all in the ground in February also, and they all came up. This year I have been doing the same because I bought too many and not enough time to plant. Now I’m just waiting for spring 🌸

This was 💯 the video I was looking for. I planted bulbs in Alabama in February and wanted to know if they had a chance of blooming this spring. Thanks for your video. ❤️

Love it!!

Well, well, well, aren't you clever for doing this! I'm seeing the video in the middle of March and I'm in NH, so this is going to be a test and a half :-) It's already spring, so fingers crossed. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right? I was going to plant them anyway, but now I think I have a good chance. In any case, I'll find out.

Wow! Thank you for this great video!

Good to know! Thanks! ❤

They came out beautiful 🌷🌷🌷🌷

Very inpiring. I planted bulb last year in pots only tulips.never thougtabout mixing some daffs.well u just give some idea what to do this fall .hehe.thanks laura..❤🇨🇦

Hi! If it's spring where you live your best bet is to plant them. They might not flower this year but if they don't get planted they'll most likely die.

They won't be much good if they are squishy, daffodils tend to deterate much faster than tulips out of soil. They also rot fast if they freeze and thaw staying wet.

None of them were squishy 🙂 so we're all good.

Your pots turned out beautifully. I bought some leftover bulbs in January. I planted some in pots and put them outside. Some are planted in pots in the garage and some aren't planted at all they are still in bags. All of them have sprouted in the bags. I'm curious what will happen as I'm sure they weren't cold hardened. Im going to try some inside with just a bit of water and rocks. Wish me luck!

Its april 1st in Connecticut. Everywhere there are bulb plants for sale in pots, mostly green, some blossoming. Tulip daffodil and hyacinth mostly. Can I pull these out of the plastic container and plant them in the ground right now? Will these last?

@LauraStepney

Жыл бұрын

Yes! The one's being sold in nurseries right now can be planted like spring annuals and will come back again next spring. Some types of tulips come back better than others though so for the best chance of returning next year stick to the daffs, crocuses and snowdrops 🙂

Hello, im in saskatchewan zone 3 and still have snow outside. Do you think i need to put them outside. And the spring start March 20. After I planted it. I just did it this morning.

Hi, I don't have any experience growing in a zone as cold as yours so definitely check out resources for colder climates...but my instinct would be to put them out but undercover so they won't get wet and rot. Bulbs don't have as much of a problem rotting in the ground but in pots they're much more vulnerable. If they stay in the garage or the house you'll be forcing them to bloom earlier because they'll think it's spring. Like I said though, I'd give that a Google...unless there's another zone 3 gardener on here that can answer?

You can try but I'm not sure if you'll get flowers this year or just leaves. But still worth it because bulbs are always better in the ground than in your house. If you live in a colder place you can stretch your planting time a bit later. Where I live in zone 8b the daffodils are starting to bloom now so it's a bit late for those.

Hm i wonder why they dont recommend spring 🤔

@LauraStepney

Жыл бұрын

Sometimes if you plant bulbs in spring they either don't have the cold period they need to flower nicely, or don't have enough time to put down roots, so you might not get flowers the first year. Hope that helps :)

February ain't spring technically.

Around here we often get spring weather starting in February so it really depends where you live. According to the equinox it's not spring but as we know, gardening and regional climates have nuance 👍
