Highlights — Why You’ll Love It

• Long bloom season: Layered bloom times keep color coming from summer until the first hard frost.
• Easy care: Great for beginners and busy gardeners — plant, water, and enjoy.
• Good for pollinators: Flowers attract bees and butterflies, helping local garden biodiversity.
• Flexible use: Works well in beds, mixed borders, or large patio pots.

How to Plant — In the Ground

• When: Plant in spring after all danger of frost has passed.
• Where: Choose a sunny to part-sunny spot with well-draining soil.
• Soil prep: Loosen the soil and work in compost or a balanced bulb fertilizer before planting.
• Planting: Place bulbs at the appropriate depth for each type (gladioli deeper; calla lilies and dahlias per their usual depth) and cover with soil.
• Water: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Keep soil slightly moist while shoots are emerging and during active growth; avoid waterlogged soil.
• Feeding: Apply a bulb or bloom fertilizer as shoots appear to support strong flowering.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage more flowering and a tidier display.
• Post-bloom: Let foliage yellow and die back naturally so bulbs can store energy for next season.

Growing in Containers

• Use a deep container with free-draining potting mix and drainage holes.
• Arrange the tallest (gladioli) toward the back or center, and place callas and dahlias around them for a layered look.
• Keep container soil evenly moist and move pots to a sunny spot; large containers help support taller stems.

FAQs — Potluck Guava Glow Bulb Mix

1. What is this mix?

It’s a curated set of flowering bulbs: April Gold Gladioli, Blushing Lady Calla Lilies, Patriot Dahlias, and Pink Perception Dahlias, chosen to bloom in succession and create a rich summer display.

2. Where can I grow these bulbs?

They prefer well-draining soil and full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Plant in garden beds, borders, or large containers. In small spaces you can also grow them in deep pots placed by a sunny window or on a patio.

3. Do these bulbs attract pollinators?

Yes — the blooms are attractive to bees and butterflies and will help support local pollinator activity.

4. When will they bloom?

Depending on your climate and planting time, expect blooms from mid-summer and continuing until the first hard frost.

5. How do I store bulbs for winter?

In USDA zones below 8, dig up tender bulbs after the foliage dies back in late fall. Let them dry, brush off excess soil, then store in a cool, dark, dry place (basement, garage, or similar) until spring.
