Bulbs – The Quality Of The Flower Can Be Seen In The Bulb.

A bulb such as a tulip or daffodil can tell you you great deal if you understand what to look for.  Bulbs are one of the largest sectors in gardening but also one of the most specialist areas. Over the last few years the large retailers in the UK and Europe have driven down the cost of bulbs to such a degree that in most cases the quality has suffered to the point its almost a pointless exersie in buy cheap bulbs which after waiting  several months after planting produce only mediocre  flowers.
For example with tulps the key is often the size of the bulbs larger bulbs will produce better flower, it seems logical when you think about it larger bulbs contain more food which helps the plant produce bigger and better flowers. Over the next few weeks the GardenAdvice team with our recommended supplier of bulbs www.bulbsandbeyond.com will be producing a number of articles that will form a guide to getting the most from bulbs with regards to producing the best flowers, value for money and bulbs for every season.
