This is what you should pay attention to

Note planting time

First of all, this includes the right planting time: You can generally plant perennials at any time between spring and autumn, and biennial summer flowers can be placed on the windowsill and in late spring - if possible only after the ice saints - in the bed set. Bulbs, on the other hand, can only be planted at certain times of the year:

• Autumn: tulips, Daffodils, Ornamental onion, Imperial Crown
• Spring: Lilies, Dahlias, Begonias, Gladiolus, Calla

Preparation of the flower bed

Basically, you can create the flowerbed both in spring and in autumn, although you can also add bulbs and summer flowers later. First to plan The bed with perennial perennials and possibly flowering shrubs. It is important to prepare the bed correctly, in which the soil is thoroughly freed of plant residues, loosened - if necessary also dug up - and improved with plenty of compost. Damp and compacted soils also benefit from drainage.

Water flowers before planting

Before you place the flowers in the prepared bed, you should first put them in a container with water and let them soak in moisture. This measure later mainly supports perennials and shrubs in the formation of new roots and thus helps them to grow.

Note planting depth and spacing

Then first arrange the plants on the bed as you imagine the ideal grouping. Make sure that the planting spacing is correct and do not mind if the plants are too large Gaps - the perennials are sure to get much bigger than they are now are. Once you are happy with the arrangement, you can dig the planting holes and plant the plants. They should not be planted deeper than they were previously in the container.

Plant bulbs correctly

When planting flower bulbs, it is essential to correctly distinguish the top and bottom, otherwise the shoot cannot push itself towards the surface. The underside of most types of onions is significantly wider than the tapered upper side and often has a slight root attachment. Some flower bulbs also need to be soaked in lukewarm water overnight in a container before planting.
