Complete beginner here!

Hey, firstly thanks for accepting me into the forum!

I am a complete newbie to this hobby, my knowledge is practically zero! Anyways. It's something I want to start doing. I've bought these plants from BnM, I've attached pictures, and don't really know what to do with them at this point. Have I bought them in a bad time of the year? Should I put them into a bigger pot ASAP? Basically how do I care for these fellas? Thanks!

 

Welcome to the forum!

I don't grow many plants from bulbs so am unfamiliar with which bulb gets planted at what time of year but there's plenty here do. Someone will be along to help soon

edit: cross posted with JWK, my bad !

 

Thanks for your reply! Well I'm planning to put them into bigger plant pots and they'll sit near walls. Unfortunately, I haven't got any bigger pots until next week, how long would these guys last in the pots they've come in?

And I'm in Cornwall

 

Thanks for your reply

 

My Muscari are blooming at the moment and put on a lovely show every year.

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner @JordanCornish ! .
Your bulbs will be fine in those pots , in fact they will grow and flower quite nicely there , however bigger pots will show them off much better !

Welcome Jordan. I would leave them in those pots until they have bloomed. Disturbing the bulbs now may stop them or delay blooming. When they have finished and the leaves are dying down they can then be potted on or planted in the garden.

 

Interesting the few grape hyacinth I have left, after systematic extermination with extreme prejudice, are showing no signs of flowers yet. More importantly neither are the more interesting species I grow although plenty of leaf on some.
These are generally March/April flowers for me.
Yes; I really don't like grape hyacinth 24 years ago I found I had a rockery full of them, do admire their persistence though.

 

Hello and welcome to GC forums

 

I see! That's good to hear actually. And also how often should I water these? Id hate to overwater them :o

 

I'll leave them in their original pots for now then thank you!
