Planting and Nurturing for Beautiful Blooms

irishgardenstg by irishgardenstg
April 4, 2023

Planting Spring Bulbs and Corms

  • Buy fresh spring bulbs and plant them as soon as possible for better flowering.
  • Pot up 30-50 crocus corms in a shallow bowl for a stunning spring display.

Taking Cuttings and Caring for Tender Plants

  • Take cuttings of tender plants like geraniums, marguerites, fuchsias, and argyranthemums to overwinter.
  • Continue feeding and watering baskets and other containers regularly.

Sowing Seeds and Dividing Perennials

  • Start sowing seeds for summer bedding plants in a heated propagator.
  • Lift, divide, and replant herbaceous perennials during good weather.
  • Check stored dahlias and gladiolus for drying out or greenfly attacks, and treat accordingly.
  • Monitor slug damage on overwintered sweet peas, especially in greenhouses or tunnels.

Extending Hanging Basket Life and Sowing Hardy Annuals

  • Prolong hanging basket life with liquid feeding.
  • Sow hardy annual flower seeds in ideal conditions for late spring and early summer blooms.
  • Keep sown areas weed-free by removing weed seedlings as they appear.

Planting Spring Bulbs and Caring for Hanging Baskets

  • Plant spring bulbs as soon as possible, trying new varieties to complement existing garden plants.
  • Use small bulbs at the front of borders and in rock gardens.
  • Keep hanging baskets going longer with liquid feeding.
  • Sow hardy annual flower seeds like calendula and candytuft in ideal conditions.
