Springtime Favourite

Botanical Name: Ranunculus spp., Freesia spp., Anemone coronaria and Narcissus spp.

Position: Full sun to part shade. Choose a well-drained position protected from strong winds.

Climate: Suitable for cool, temperate and Mediterranean climates. Tolerates light frost once established.

Planting Time: Autumn to early winter.

Watering: Water thoroughly after planting, then keep soil lightly moist while plants are actively growing and flowering. Avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering as foliage begins to die back after flowering.

Flowering Time: Late winter to spring.

Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser or blood and bone at planting. Feed again when growth appears and after flowering to encourage strong bulb and corm development for the following season.

Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid heavy or poorly drained soils.

Pests: Protect emerging foliage and flowers from snails and slugs. Good drainage helps prevent bulb and corm rot.

Growing Tips: Plant bulbs and corms with the pointed or growing end facing upwards at the recommended depth. Keep the soil moist during active growth but never waterlogged. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to help bulbs and corms store energy for the following season. Ideal for creating a succession of colourful spring flowers.
