Colours yellow, pink, red, orange, some with bronze foliage. How to plant them Planting time 20 mins Do not plant when soil is excessively dry, waterlogged or frozen. Plant several bulbs in one large hole or trench to save time and effort, making sure they are not touching. Because bulbs develop extensive roots, it's wise to plant them in well-dug soils. So start by digging to a depth of at least twice the height of the bulbs.
Most bulbs prefer a well drained position.
If winter temperatures are very cold or summers very dry, plant them slightly deeper. Cover the bulbs with loosened soil, and water immediately. Many bulbs looks great in containers and can be used to brighten up specific areas of the garden as other flowers finish. They are particularly good on patios, especially those which are scented, such as Lilies. Agapanthus are often best grown in pots as they are evergreen and may need winter protection.
