Bulb areasThe time to plant spring flowering bulbs is in the autumn. The bulbs will flower the following spring and every spring after that. They will eventually spread to form a colony, but you could help this along. Activity suggestion (see also Contacts and Resources, Section 4)Bulb PlantingIn the spring, mark out a new area where you have chosen to plant more bulbs (you can see where the other bulbs are then and so won't dig any up by accident later). In the autumn you could plant more bulbs such as wild daffodils, native bluebells and snowdrops. (It is important that you plant only native bluebells. Check on the internet to find out why that is.) Plant them twice as deep as the height of the bulb, with the pointy end up. Make a map to show where the areas of bulbs are.
