Garden Center: Spring Flowering Bulbs

Fall Bulb Planting for Spring Blooms

It’s been a long hot summer. Are your thinking spring? Become inspired to start your landscape project now for a colorful display this coming spring.

Planting bulbs is a simple task and we have all the supplies needed to get it done. Assorted bulbs are in stock now at Northeast Nursery. Select from tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, alliums, amaryllis bulbs and more. Plant bulbs in masses for the best color show. Now is the time to start planting. Call us today.

Remember: Bulbs must go in the ground before the ground freezes and while bulbs are still firm and without prominent sprouts.

Forced Bulbs
Indoor Forcing is a process that stimulates bulbs to bloom out of season. Of all the flower bulbs available in autumn, Hyacinths, Paperwhites, Narcissus (Daffodils), Tulips, Crocus and Amaryllis are the easiest to bring into flower and perfect for indoor growing. Many other bulb varieties may also be suitable for your indoor garden. Learn more...

Bulbs For Naturalizing
The following bulbs are the easiest to "plant" so they look like you didn't: Alliums, Crocus, Tulips, Iris reticulata, Scillas, Muscari Armeniacum, Daffodils and Camassia.

Selecting Bulbs For Fall Planting Beds
Determine the location, the amount of sunlight and the size of planting bed wanted. Then look at height and color. Here are some questions that can be asked for planning out a beautiful looking garden:

Does your customer want flowers for cutting or fragrance?
Perhaps you need deer resistant flowers?

Preparing the Soil
To prepare the bed you will want to add organic material such as, peat moss, cow manure, or compost and a good bulb fertilizer to the soil. Mulching the bed after planting will help keep the soil temperature stable over the winter. Remember to fertilize and mulch established beds too.

When installing the bulbs we have some other items you should use:

Espoma Bulb Tone or Bone Meal
Bulb Planters
Augers for planting bulbs
With all of the moles and voles around apply SHOTGUN® REPELS-ALL® Animal Repellent to the bulbs. It's natural protection will keep these critters from eating the bulbs.

Healthy Start 3-4-3 is great for bulbs!

Your tulips know how to grow, but why not create optimal conditions
for growth. Healthy Start 3-4-3 is the ultimate starter fertilizer and soil conditioner.

Its N-P-K is derived from organic plant and animal proteins like bone meal, blood meal, and feather meal. Natural humic acids are added to increase nutrient absorption.

Finally, nitrogen fixing and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria are included to promote biological fertility in the soil.

For planting bulbs, add 1 teaspoon per plant and mix with the soil in the planting hole.
