Should you water bulbs after planting?Updated 8 months ago

It is not usually necessary to water spring bulbs after planting because they will remain dormant for a while, and do not require a lot of moisture to start with. Rainfall during autumn and winter usually provides sufficient moisture for spring flowering bulbs. Once they start to grow in spring, they may need additional water during prolonged dry spells. Some varieties, such as Ranunculus and Anemones, start to sprout in autumn/winter and they may need watering if the soil becomes very dry.
