Can you plant other flowers on top of bulbs?Updated 8 months ago

Bulbs look great growing through complimentary bedding plants such as violas and wallflowers. Remember that the bedding plants will also demand nutrition from your compost when using pots and hanging baskets so a feeding regime would be recommended to ensure your bulbs and plants thrive. Avoid planting bulbs beneath dense-rooted plants, such as hardy perennials - they will struggle to push through the roots of the clump. If planting bulbs in borders, it is best to plant in gaps around clumps of perennials.  If you are planting a shrub or perennial in summer or autumn and you discover dormant bulbs while digging the hole, you can transfer the dormant bulbs directly into a different location.
