Planting on top of bulbs

[Summerdays2014]

Hi,

Last year I had everything in an old, overgrown, neglected border removed (did save and move some things!)
We planted nothing but loads of daffodils and tulip bulbs which flowered abs looked lovely.
Now I would like to plant some shrubs/perennials/abuses but I’m not sure how to do this around the leaves that are still there and the the bulbs that are obviously underground!
Any tips please? Thanks.

You just dig the hole as normal and plant your perennial.
Daffodils have contractile roots and move themselves down, they are usually down quite deep in the soil and tulips should be planted deeply for best flowering too.
The daffodil and tulip leaves will just die down naturally, just move them gently if they are in the way of the new plant.

Thanks frostedviolets.
