What happens if you plant a bulb upside down?Updated 15 days ago

Bulbs should be planted the correct way up to ensure the best growth, but if a bulb is planted on its side it will often grow normally. Bulbs planted upside down, may still manage to grow but will generally not survive long as this causes considerable stress. If you think you have planted your bulbs upside down, they should be lifted and replanted correctly at the earliest opportunity, preferably whilst they are still dormant.
