I just bought a new home last year with no landscaping, so all spring that is all I have been doing. Unfortunatly, because we had to put up new trees and new beds I just planted my bulbs about two weeks ago (mid may) and some have yet to arrive (a set of cally lilys I will plant when they arive the first week of june). The bulbs of I planted are Dahlia, Iris and Gladiolus. I have already mulched about two inches over the dirt, will that impede their first growth? This is my first home and I am new to gardening, so any other advice not pertaining to the question would be helpful as well. Thanks!
How soon will my bulbs sprout and flower? I am in Delaware Zone 7.?
Your Glads and Dahlia's will bloom this year in late summer. The iris's will probably not bloom until next year and could be 2 years. That is just how new iris's are, it is nothing to do with when you planted them this year. The mulch will not impede the growth. Enjoy your new gardens!
