What is the best fertiliser for bulbs?Updated 16 days ago

It’s important to use fresh, good quality compost when planting your summer bulbs, or a rich and fertile garden soil. This should provide enough nutrients to support your bulbs throughout their first season and additional feeding isn’t usually necessary. However, you can encourage more vigorous growth by feeding fortnightly during the growing season. A potash-rich feed, like a tomato feed, is the best fertiliser to use to promote flowering, general purpose feeds like seaweed extract are good for all plants.
