When repotting sprouted bulbs,
like these white Muscari, tightly
arrange them for the best effect.

Success with Potted Bulbs

  • Select plants that have sprouted but are still in tight bud. Tall plants can be difficult to transplant successfully.
  • Slowly acclimate pots of sprouted bulbs that have been kept indoors at the garden center. Set the pots in a protected but
    unheated area outdoors for a few days before transplanting them.
  • Choose a pot with good drainage for transplanting, and use a good-quality potting soil.
  • To transplant, carefully tip the bulb and soil out of the pot and replant it in your own container. Plant bulbs closely, so they nearly touch each other, for a lush bouquet effect when they bloom.
  • If you purchased a grouping of bulbs that are in one pot, keep the group together. It's best to not separate tender
    new roots when repotting.
  • Water newly planted bulbs well, and move the container to a sunny spot.
