I have an assortment of bulbs, irises and perennials (Echinacea - coneflower's) to plant this October for a spring/summer show. (the Irises and Echinaceas are already in pots.)
I know to plan the bed, dig up ground at proper depth, fertilize, make sure there is good drainage.
#1 - Im not sure how to check of good drainage.
#2 - I was told to soak bulbs in SuperThirive before planting. but should that b done when planting in the fall??
#3 - Ive got some tall ALLUIMs ... do these need support??
They are always illustrated along a wall (so they could lean against a wall??)
I wanted to try them in the bed along our walkway. But can they Stand Up without support??
#4 - please recommend a good fertilizer for bulbs.
# 5 - after planting how do you KNOW the correct amount of water for the newly planted bulb bed??
#6 - Does the bulb bed get watered over winter??
#7 - Some will be in pots - do these get watered over winter??
Any and ALL Advice is greatly appreciated.!!
