Garden Bulbs, Rhizomes and Tubers
They can be easily started and abound in local gardening centers and Internet shops and are easily incorporated into any gardening scheme.
What Are Garden Bulbs, Rhizomes and Tubers?
A garden bulb is an underground shoot with a very thick leaf base. The leaf base is used as a food storage organ by the plant. Tulips, Daffodils and Hyacinths have bulbs as their root system. A rhizome is an underground, horizontal stem of a plant that puts out shoots from nodes. Iris, Day lilies and Hostas have rhizomes as their root system. Tubers are also underground stems. Dahlias have tubers as their root system. Bulbs and rhizomes are also perennials, as the plants that grow from them live and return for more than two years.
How Do You Plant Garden Bulbs, Rhizomes and Tubers?
Spring flowering bulbs and rhizomes are planted in the fall, before the first hard frost, instead of in the spring. In order to produce their first flower spike, spring bulbs must have at least two months at temperatures below 40° F.
The very earliest spring blooms come from spring blooming bulbs. Crocus will often bloom before the last snow has melted followed by Tulips, Daffodils and Dutch Iris. Bulbs are generally bloomed out before the first annuals and perennials have bloomed. However, hybrid bulb varieties have been developed that stretch out the blooming season of these flowers to last well into June.
The soil preparation for bulbs and rhizomes is the same as for annuals and perennials. If planting several bulbs in one spot you can dig one large hole or trench and place all the bulbs in at once, or you can dig individual holes for each bulb.
Each variety of bulb, rhizome and tuber has different planting requirements. You should carefully read and follow the planting instructions that come with your bulbs, rhizomes and tubers. If they are planted too deep they may never come up. If they are planted too shallow they may not sprout. However, bulbs planted in extremely cold climates may be planted one to two inches deeper than recommended in order to give them greater protection from the winter temperatures.
If you would like to have a mixture of spring blooming bulbs in one spot, plant them in layers. Dig a hole to the depth needed for the largest bulbs and plant them first. Add enough soil to reach the depth needed for the second largest bulbs and continue planting all your bulbs. Do take care not to plant one bulb on top of the other. This method will give you a lasting profusion of flowers over a period of several weeks.
