What happens if you plant a bulb upside down?Updated 8 months 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 take longer to sprout and will generally not survive long as this causes considerable stress. If you think you have planted your bulbs upside down, they should be corrected at the earliest opportunity, preferably whilst they are still dormant. If they have started to grow, it is best to leave them as they are as they tend to correct themselves once they are in growth.
