Over the years I’ve often made the rookie error of not planting bulbs early enough in the season and then missing out on a colourful display later in the year. So determined not to let that happen this summer, I’ve circled the calendar, stocked up on my favourites and will be planting bulbs in February to guarantee a garden full of colour later on this year.
While it’s early in the season, there are plenty of bulbs you can plant in February to get a head start for the year ahead, whether planting them straight in the ground (after the last frosts have passed) or starting bulbs off in pots in a mini greenhouse, conservatory or windowsill.
