Do 'blind bulbs' ever recover?
« on: April 07, 2011, 18:19 »
Snowdrops planted last year but not as quickly as i should have. (they dried out a little)

Also some little narcissi that i divided last year and then left them late to plant out.

So ...... do blind bulbs ever recover?

Yes!  Usually only miss a single year.

Yes, but if lack of sunlight is their problem you will need to move them somewhere brighter.  8)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Comfrey tea is good and I usually sprinkle a bit of all purpose fertilizer around them to cover all feed bases.
