Is it too late to plant bulbs in pots?Updated 8 months ago

Spring bulbs should be planted between September and late December whether they are in pots or borders. From around December onwards, spring bulbs (particularly early flowering varieties) can naturally start to deteriorate and become less viable if unplanted. If it is passed this ideal planting window, it is still worth planting the bulbs late, providing the bulbs appear firm and healthy. They will not store until the following year. The same goes for summer-flowering bulbs, which should be planted between late February and June - if they appear healthy and firm, it is better to plant them late than allow them to deteriorate further in storage.
