Spring bulbs are a joy in late winter and spring, bringing colour and hope to the garden. Whether naturalised in grass, planted in borders or containers, or forced indoors for Christmas, there are bulbs for every situation, and autumn is the time to plant them.

Availability and planting | September to November

The planting time for spring-flowering bulbs is from September to November. Daffodils, Crocus, and Hyacinths are best planted earlier (September to October) while Tulips are best planted later (November). They all need to go into ground that is not frozen or waterlogged. As a general rule, plant them three times as deep as their size and make sure they are facing upwards!
