Flower Bulb Planting Guide: 10 Tips for Commercial Landscapes
Planting flower bulbs is the ultimate plan-ahead gift you give yourself and your customers.
Tuck ordinary-looking bulbs in the ground in the fall, and celebrate in the spring with an explosion of cheerful color.
Spring bulbs are like a party on your property, shouting the blissful arrival of spring in riotous hues of red, yellow, purple, pink, coral and blue. They’re the first thing you see in the spring, before other flowers appear.
You don’t have to look too hard here at Level Green Landscaping to find bulb super fans, including the company’s managing member and head gardener Doug Delano, who has personally planted close to 50,000 or so daffodils and tulips at his home in Maryland.
Just a fraction of that number can make a huge impact on your commercial property.
But you have to plan ahead.
When to plant bulbs? Where to plant bulbs? What kind? How many?
Plant spring bulbs from the end of September through October, in high visibility spots throughout your commercial property, from entrances to signage to huge impressive masses in beds and borders. What types of flower bulbs thrive here? Tulips and daffodils are always favorites, but crocuses and hyacinths also add a cheerful boost your customers and tenants will love.
