Garden World’s Guide to Gardening - How to Plant Holland Bulbs for Spring!

Fall may be winding down, but it is not too late to plant spring-blooming bulbs. In this week’s Guide to Gardening, we are sharing how to get your Holland bulbs in the ground before winter arrives so you can enjoy a burst of color as soon as spring begins. Whether you love tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, or crocus, planting bulbs now is the key to a picture-perfect spring garden.

Here’s What You’ll Need

- Your favorite Holland bulbs (available now at Garden World)

- A hand trowel or bulb planter

- Bulb food or garden fertilizer

- Well-draining soil

Getting Started

Choose a sunny spot in your garden where the soil drains well, since bulbs do not like sitting in wet soil through winter. Before planting, loosen the soil and mix in a small amount of bulb food or compost to give them a nutrient boost.

Plant each bulb two to three times as deep as its height, with the pointed end facing upward. Space them a few inches apart so they have room to grow and multiply.

Once your bulbs are planted, cover them with soil and water lightly to help them settle in. After that, nature takes care of the rest.

Bonus Tip

For a beautiful layered look, plant larger bulbs such as tulips or daffodils deeper in the soil and smaller varieties like crocus closer to the surface. This creates a staggered bloom effect in early spring.
