If you’ve been looking at your bulbs and wondering whether you’re getting late with planting, please don’t worry.
🌱 There is still plenty of planting time
For many spring-flowering bulbs, cooler soil is actually preferable.
As a rough guide:
🌼 Narcissus, Crocus, Iris, Muscari and Alliums are quite happy to be planted as soil temperatures begin falling below around 15°C.
🌷 Tulips generally prefer things cooler still — around 10–12°C is ideal — which is why late October and November are often excellent months for planting them.
So with temperatures still unusually mild, there really is no need to panic.
There is still plenty of planting time ahead.
