Top 5 Spring Bulbs to Plant in October for a Stunning Display

October is bulb-planting season! By planting now, you’ll enjoy a garden bursting with colour next spring. Here are five bulbs you should plant this month:

1. Tulips

  • Plant mid- to late-October to avoid tulip fire disease.
  • Go for bold mixes for a dramatic display.

2. Daffodils

  • Hardy, cheerful, and low-maintenance.
  • Plant in drifts for maximum impact.

3. Crocus

  • Small but striking, crocus bring early spring cheer.
  • Plant in lawns, rockeries, or under trees.

4. Hyacinths

  • Fragrant and colourful, perfect for containers.
  • Choose ‘prepared’ bulbs for indoor forcing at Christmas.

5. Fritillaria

  • Add something unique with their nodding, chequered blooms.
  • Prefer damp, shady spots.

🌿 Planting Tip: Always plant bulbs at a depth of three times their height, and in well-drained soil.
