Duringplanting of onion flowers in springnot only the correct planting date is important, but also the appropriate depth at which we place the bulbs in the ground. If we do not know the planting depth of individual species of bulbs, in simplified terms, we can assume that flower bulbs are planted to a depth equal to two to three times the height of the onion. Due to the very different sizes of the bulbs, these depths can range from, for example,5-8 cm for begonias, vermilion, xia, buttercups and tigers, up to more than 10 cm for dahlias, lilies and gladioli. As Ms Lidia from cebule-kwiatowe.pl adds :- Detailed information on the depth of planting bulbs of individual plants, as well as the recommended spacing between planted flower bulbs, can be found on the website of our store, next to the description of each variety. You can therefore carefully check the recommended planting depth when you shop with us. It is also worth following the rule that on very light soils we plant the bulbs a little deeper than at the recommended depth. The opposite is true for very compact soils - here the bulbs are planted slightly higher.
