Planting Guide

Planting in the Ground

• Timing: Plant in spring once the danger of frost is gone.
• Location: Choose a sunny or partly sunny site with well-drained soil.
• Soil Prep: Loosen soil and enrich with compost or a bulb fertilizer before planting.
• Watering: Water well after planting to help bulbs settle in.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, especially during dry spells.
• Feeding: Apply bulb fertilizer as new shoots start to appear.
• Deadheading: Clip away spent blooms to encourage more energy back into the bulbs.
• After Bloom: Let foliage yellow and die back naturally before removing—it feeds the bulb for next year.

Growing in Containers

These bulbs are excellent for pots, planters, and even balcony displays. Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix and always choose containers with drainage holes. Group the bulbs together for a full, lush look, and mix in trailing plants for extra charm.

FAQs

1. What’s included in the Potluck Citrus Zest Punch Bulb Mix?

You’ll receive 21 bulbs: 15 Orange Sun Gladioli, 3 Yellow Sneezy Dahlias, and 3 Fantasia Calla Lilies.

2. When and where should I plant these bulbs?

Plant in spring after frost danger has passed, in a spot with well-draining soil and full to partial sun. They work well in borders, beds, or large containers.

3. Can I grow this mix in containers?

Yes! This mix does beautifully in containers for patios, porches, or balconies. Just be sure to use potting soil with good drainage and a container that won’t hold excess water.

4. How do I care for the bulbs after they bloom?

Allow the foliage to remain until it turns yellow and naturally dies back. This step lets the bulb store energy for the following season. Once foliage has withered, you can remove it and, if needed, lift and store bulbs in a cool, dry spot.

5. Can I mix these bulbs with other plants?

Absolutely! They combine beautifully with perennials, grasses, and groundcovers in the landscape. In containers, try pairing them with trailing plants for a layered, eye-catching display.
