Why “In the Green”?
Dry bulbs, whilst often performing well, can often become BADLY DESSICATED (drying out andshrinking) leading to a moribund and poor performance for the garden Supplying bulbs in the green offer a degree of satisfaction that the plant is in good growing condition.
This transplanting of a growing plant is very successful and almost universally practised.It should be noted, however, that this disturbance to the plant may sometimes hold back flowering for a season, or even two, whilst the bulb fattens and develops in its new environment.Transplanted plants can be helped to establish by making sure that the new site is prepared well,the roots teased apart, and that the plants are watered after planting and during any subsequent dryspells.
Snowdrops in particular, should be planted in holes approximately 5cm apart at a depth of approximately twice as deep as the bulb is long.Bulbs and plants listed in this catalogue are from nursery grown, naturalised, cultivated stock and aresupplied “In the Green” i.e. in full growth.
