While each plant is a complete
"plant factory" in itself, with built-in nourishment, it is a good
idea to mix a quantity of Breck's Food for Bulbs and Perennials with the
loose soil at the bottom of your planting. This will provide
additional food without any danger of "burning." Never apply fresh
or half-rotted manure directly on bulbs and perennials. As soon as
the shoots break through the ground in the spring, repeat the
fertilizer application. Do not fertilize spring flowering bulbs after they have started flowering. This tends to
encourage the development of bulb rot and sometimes shortens the
life of the flowers. Summer
and fall
flowering bulbs should be fertilized monthly from shoot
emergence until the plants reach full flower. The optimum pH range
for bulbs is 6 to 7. A soil test of the planting area is necessary
to determine if lime needs to be applied to adjust the soil pH. If
needed, limestone should be worked into the soil. For good bud
development, work Breck's Bulb and Perennials Food into the soil at
planting.
