Planting Spring Flowering Bulbs - Scilla, Anemones, Amarcrinum, Snowdrops

[@sarawatson1714]

Love that you can speed the video yet continue audio at normal speed.

[@mindfulmaximalist9962]

I've finally discovered what that bulb the squirrel brought me was... Scilla Peruviana. Thank You

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Thanks for the visual support!!! Exiting to see the show in spring. Blessings!!

[@charlenefall3831]

Wow nature is so beautiful and good to us 💐🌷🌺🌸🌼🌻🌹🌷

[@mkitchens8163]

I'm trying some of these bulbs for the first time this year: camassia, chionodoxa, scilla, blanda and de caen anemones, and crocus. I'm glad I watched yours and another video or I would not have known I needed to soak the anemones until I got ready to plant them. And I still have several hundred tulip bulbs to plant around New Year's! They're chilling in my garage mini-fridge. I've never heard of an Amarcrinum before, but I will check those out.

[@ann4934]

Good grief. I've had tulip bulbs in the bottom of my kitchen fridge for the past 8 weeks, and just remembered I have an empty, but unplugged, mini-fridge in the garage. lol

[@BBHubbs]

I just planted some Blanda Blue, as well, with Delnashaugh and Trumpet Daffodils. Let the Spring sing with colour! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing ❤️

[@janetleeharrison]

Can't wait to see them bloom this spring. I don't think I've seen the Amarcrinum before - those are gorgeous! I'm so looking forward to next spring & warmer weather. I've never liked cold weather & I'm already sick of it, LOL. 😃

[@beckyscheller9358]

Will be a beautiful spring.

[@dylan8285]

Looking forward to see those larger bulbs, never heard of them, they look quite interesting and beautiful tho.

[@JimPutnam]

Yeah, I have only shown crinum lillies and hybrids in passing on the channel. I'm actually visiting a farm of them next spring.

[@LinusCello75]

Jenna Farmer?

[@carmenbailey1560]

Love spring bulbs, first year I haven’t planted any time just got away from me. We now in Ontario have a thick layer of snow, very wintery. Can’t wait to see your landscaping come alive in the spring. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@annebeck2208]

Thanks for the tip on amenone, I put off planting them, because I just couldn't tell up.

[@marcelfr90]

In my opinion, smaller size bulb flowers need be blended in with bigger size bulb ones. Hyacinths, snowdrops and scillae? Perfect combo!

[@JimPutnam]

Same here and I'm planting lots more than I'm showing. Good advice for everyone.

[@anitahadley2871]

Will the last two bulbs come back for you next year? I have never seen that last one. Really pretty.

[@mardisteffenhagen9405]

This will be something to see! Glad to see something different !!

[@kimvega1962]

Awesome blooms. Very different. Can't wait to see in the Spring.

[@shervegas]

I cannot wait for spring to see your lovely garden! You hive me great inspiration :)

[@lkhawkins4482]

I am looking forward to seeing all these lovely flowers in the springtime!

[@ann4934]

That's some really impressive video-audio editing. Can't wait for some of those bulbs to bloom next year.

[@jeanninemorgan3526]

Jim, I love your videos. Thank you for all the information! For the bulbs that will naturalize ( not your tulips) will you over plant them with annuals/ perennials in the spring and will they then still come back if they are over planted? I’ve had a hard time finding and answer/ determining if I have to plant around them or if I can plant over them.... Thanks so much - I hope you have a great adventure with your son 😀

[@melissamybubbles6139]

Can you mix different kinds of bulbs in the same area to have a variety of colors together?

[@m.huckaba-barber6158]

great color attributes! do you have any native spring bulbs for your region? scilia can be very aggressive as a spreader, alternatively, spring beauty bulbs similarly naturalize in regions and are a power house of a food source for early emerging native bees. please search for native plants to incorporate into your plantings and videos. Dutchman's breaches, trillium, may apples, jack-in-the-pulpit...there's so many to choose from!

[@JimPutnam]

I have your whole list in my landscape! Lots of natives here, but never limited to just natives.

[@JJ-fm3hr]

so much info - thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@marycampbell4160]

Awesome

[@ruthwolf7697]

Beautiful garden. Do you label the locations of each plant?

[@ellerob7292]

What do you use as a marker and do you write on it to label the type of bulb you planted? Great content Jim!

[@JimPutnam]

It is a plastic nursery marker. I use a weather proof marker and write the name of the bulb on it. Thanks for watching

[@jowalk80]

which company you got the bulbs? Love you planted small bulbs and new varieties; something different than tulips, alliums and daffodils. I have anemone St Brigid and De Caen, can I plant them now in zone 7a or wait until early Spring? Thanks

[@bohnnco]

Hey Jim - I’m in chapel hill. I know this isn’t a tulip video but how do you keep squirrels out of your tulips in the ground? I know you’ve planted 100s in the ground. I do mine in pots that I can cover. Thx

[@ndchick1]

Cannot wait to see your spring display! I am surprised you don't use any amendments when you plant, like BulbTone.

[@JimPutnam]

I actually think everything gets over fertilized. I use compost and my mulch breaks down and I fertilize once a year.

[@ndchick1]

@@JimPutnam Ahh yes, you have a healthy layer of compost! How could I forget?

[@emmalavenham]

It is important to keep in mind that the bulbs already have what they need to grow from the last growing season. Adding bulb-tone may help the bulbs root in, but may also attract animals due to its scent which could dig them up...

[@mkitchens8163]

@@emmalavenham Yes, my dog never bothers my flower beds but dug up gladiolas and irises that I planted with bonemeal.

[@marywhitfield7553]

Love the vintage bowl you soaked the bulbs in. Think I left my amaryllis bulbs too high when I planted in the landscape. Can I just put some mulch over the top??

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, definitely

[@cecilleflowerfarm]

Oh my gosh just check my flower bed and I see some of my daffodils that I didn’t dug up last season (spring )just show up! Maybe they are confused because here in NJ we have 60s temp!😳

[@LuNa4Death]

I just found a few bags of tulips I had forgotten about in the garage, I'm in the midsouth and we haven't had a hard frost yet, would it be too late to plant?

[@ljones98391]

Do you have any room in your fridge for food? It’s been full of bulbs for months, Jim. 🤔

[@JimPutnam]

I definitely choose tulips over turkey 🦃 at Thanksgiving every year 😊

[@mkitchens8163]

I bought a dorm-sized fridge just for tulip bulbs! It does get used for other things when it's not filled with tulips.

[@katiekane5247]

Jim, what's your opinion on a touch of bone meal? My soil isn't as deeply improved yet as I'd like but HAVE to get some crocus, daffodils & galanthus in. Thanks!

[@mnik8501]

Does it like full sun or shade?

[@donatasnorvaisa8742]

that to do for winnter with bullbs

[@mitzi605]

Where do you find these bulbs?

[@sandyh.1393]

I'm not sure anyone has asked you this in these comments, but how long do the Amarcrinum blooms last? Are they like lilies and only last a day or two or do they last longer?

[@passepartoot]

Knowing what a prolific planter you are, are you worried about accidentally digging up those spring ephemerals in the future. Do you mark their spot in some way?

[@miriamwalden3246]

Your soil is red like mine underneath the mulch!

[@emmalavenham]

Anyone else wondering why at least one online bulb supplier says that windflowers (Anemone blanda) are not suitable for cold climates? Do they just need to be heavily mulched in zone 5 or zone 6a?

[@gabrielrios8484]

Do you have to worry about Squirrels digging those up?

[@dorindajenkins7825]

👋😄

[@sumi646]

already tired of winter

[@lorraineclark3517]

Will you be overplanting after the bulbs/ flowers have faded?

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, there will be either low growing perennials or summer annuals in all of these spots next year.

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

Jim. What happened to the theme music

[@JimPutnam]

I mix it up😂. I have music at the end of Friday's video

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

@@JimPutnam Jim. Getting some Bigfoot cleyeras in the ground at house. Thanks for all u do

[@sylviaparnell363]

I have voles😳

[@JimPutnam]

That is definitely not fun. I flooded them at the old house. I put a hose in a tunnel and watered for a day. It worked. Not a fun water bill though.

[@elsagrace3893]

I had voles in my lettuce bed but they never ate the lettuce. They tunneled all around it for a few weeks. I just packed the soil back every day and not one plant died. I guess the voles were eating bugs. This is in CA.

[@JimPutnam]

Those were likely moles and yes they eat insects. The voles will use the mole tunneling and they will eat plant roots.

[@donnahazlett6676]

@@JimPutnam I planted snowdrops for the first time ever a few weeks ago and days later there were tunnels and mounds all around. So I don't guess they will be coming up in the spring, I'm guessing voles ate them. I had read they don't do well in containers so I'm wondering how to every plant them successfully in the future.

[@kat.5822]

@@JimPutnam We had voles in a few of our previous homes. We used the milky spores to get rid of the white grub worms. It takes patience to apply, and about a year or possibly two before you get results, but it has never failed us, and it is environmentally friendly. Our grass recovered nicely and voles disappeared.
