Summer bulbs usually bloom out June to August. The earlier you plant your light bulbs, the earlier you will bloom. Some summer bulbs come back every year, but not all. Examples of multi -year light bulbs are commonia, lilies, dahlias and gladioli.

The main difference between spring and summer light bulbs is that they are planted – and of course when they bloom.

Spring pearsLike daffodils, tulips, allia and crocuses, are usually planted in autumn between September and November. They bloom in the early spring after spending the winter in the ground.

Summer pear are planted in spring as soon as the frost has passed. These lamps bloom in summer, often into the autumn months. Summer bulbs are also known as delicate lamps because they are not tolerant compared to cold temperatures.

The best thing about light bulbs is that you don't take up a lot of space. Regardless of whether you plant your in pots and containers or especially in the ground, you place light bulbs at least 20 centimeters under the floor. Keep the bottom moist, but make sure not to fly over water.

“Note that you prepare the soil with a lot of organic matter such as compost or well -borne crap,” says John. “This delivers all the nutrients that need their onions to bloom with plenty of flowering until summer.

“Mulating the area with organic material can contribute both in the moisture dase and the suppression of weed aids, creating a favorable growth environment.”

Don't forget to promote flowers with deadheads to promote new growth and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production. “Feed your plants during the vegetation period with a balanced fertilizer to improve your performance and lead to more productive flowers,” adds John.
