WATERING

It is vital to keep bird baths and water bowls topped up during the summer months. Pay special attention to container-grown plants and hanging baskets, which will need watering daily to prevent plants from dehydrating.

PLANTING AUTUMN-FLOWERING BULBS

The meadow saffron (Colchicum autumnale) — sometimes called autumn crocus — and the true autumn-flowering crocus (Crocus speciosus) can be planted now. Both species look best grown in bold groups, in well-drained soil and in an open position or under a deciduous tree. Use a trowel or specially designed bulb planter and set the bulbs 10cm (4in) deep and 20cm (8in) apart for colchicums, 10cm (4in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart for crocuses. Cover completely with earth and firm in place.
