Is it too late to plant spring bulbs now?

[Lennoxx]

Been meaning to get some spring bulbs in for a while now but life has got in the way! Is it too late now? I’ve bought a bumper pack of mixed spring bulbs. It’s fairly mild where I am, thanks!

I only planted mine at the weekend so I hope some of them grow

No - you can plant them until the end of December.

They’ll be fine but just come up a little later than usual, depending what they are. Top tip: put them in a bucket with a little water then sprinkle with chilli powder and mix. Stops the squirrels, rats etc. digging them up!

Should be fine- last Christmas I found several bags of overlooked bulbs in the shed - bunged them in pots and they were flowering happily in March.

You should be fine. Tulips in particular are ok. They dislike being planted too early because of the wet.

I’ve just planted tulips that i received for Christmas, according to the instructions December is a good time to plant them .
