E-FlowerBulbs.com Explains How to Plant Summer Flower Bulbs

(PRWEB) October 30, 2005 -- According to E-FlowerBulbs.com, summer flower bulbs are flowers that bloom in the summer, and include daylilies, lilies, gladiolus, dahlia, begonia, and caladium, among others.

As E-FlowerBulbs.com explains, summer flower bulbs should be planted in early spring. They need to be planted in an area with adequate drainage. Flower bulbs will rot in standing water. For this reason, they should never be planted at the bottom of a hill.

Summer flower bulbs vary in their sun requirements. Dahlias, lilies, and daylilies, for example, thrive in full sun to partial shade. Gladiolus, on the other hand, requires full sun and iris prefer partial shade. When planning your arrangement, pay special attention to the amount of sun your garden or flowerbed receives and pick your flower bulbs accordingly.

E-FlowerBulbs.com also explains that all summer flower bulbs require loose, workable soil. If the area has never been used for growing, add some compost or peat moss. Most bulbs will not require any special fertilization, but follow your package directions carefully.

Summer flower bulbs should be planted when the soil is dry and free-flowing. Did the hole six to eight inches deep, and place the bulb in with the pointed side facing up. Cover the hole with dirt and pack firmly. Water thoroughly.
