Last Call for Bulbs!

Still got bulbs sitting around? Now is the time to get those spring bulbs in the ground.  Garden centers have a great selection of daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, lilies, and other spring favorites. Just remember:

Many bulbs need rich, well drained soil.  Work in a generous amount of Happy Frog Planting Mix when you plant.  Typically, bulbs need to be planted at a depth equal to three to four times their size, so be sure to amend the soil to that depth.

Bulb food is absolutely essential.  Use one to two tablespoons of Happy Frog Bulb Food for every bulb you plant, and feed existing plantings of bulbs according to package directions.  Our Happy Frog fertilizers come in a water resistant resealable pouch, so you can save your leftover fertilizer for a second feeding in the spring, as soon as the bulbs begin to emerge.

Don’t forget about containers.  Most bulbs grow beautifully in pots, and you can layer smaller bulbs among and above larger bulbs for a display that lasts longer.  Use a high quality potting soil like Ocean Forest, and don’t forget the bulb food.  This is especially important for premium bulbs that you want to grow indoors during the winter, like amaryllis.
