the Crocus, tulips and narcissi – fine in vårkrukan

The rich autumn colors are here and we are enjoying the clear days. But forget everything in the world not to plan for the spring. Now it is time to put the bulbs in vårkrukorna. Gardeners Bosse Rappne give their best tips.

" One thing that can be easy to forget that autumn is vårkrukorna. The where you will be happy all the way down into the toes, " says Bosse Rappne, a gardener in the palace garden to the Palace.

the Point of the vårkrukor is to put the bulbs that bloom a little bit different times. Way the bulbs tightly and at different planting depth, starting with those who should be planted to deep.

– This should narcisserna down deep, they shall be placed approximately twenty centimetres down in the pot, " says Bosse Rappne. Then we fill with a little soil. The tulips down a little shallower, about ten centimetres below the surface of the earth, so we will only cover the narcisslökarna just.

Fill in with a little more soil and top ports, the crocuses have to be down five centimeters. Finish with a quilt with earth and a little water. Set aside the pot in anticipation of spring. Important with bulb plants is that they are not wet, then rot over the winter. Let it be happy to stand under a roof so it's not raining or snowing straight down in the pot. They must also not be too hot, in direct sun, for example, then they may wake up too early.

– You can mix little as you want, it is just to read on the bag when they bloom and how deeply they want to be, " says Bosse Rappne. Then you get flowers in different heights. And it's so incredibly happy in the spring when it starts to grow. More difficult than this it need not be.

Add krukskrävan of the hole in the bottom of the pot to drain the water but not the soil out.

Fill with soil so that the ones at the bottom of the bulbs end up at the correct depth, the top upwards and the root downwards.

Cover with as much soil as is needed for the next layer of bulbs should be on the right level. Read on the bag how deep they should be planted.

Finish with a layer of soil and watering a bit. Place the pot protected from too much heat and water it will start to grow nicely forward in the spring.
