Hello , I am quite new to bulbs etc. I usually plant my garden up with ready made plants from the gardent centre . However trying to be a bit adventurous I sent off for plants from a catalogue. I've just received my order and to my dismay they are barely recognisable as a "bulb" (if that's what they are) and came without instructions. I have no clue as how to plant them up. Some just look like old thick roots with a mesh of fine tangled roots at one end and something more fleshy at the other end. The plants I received are Aquilegia, enchinacea, hollyhocks, gypsophila, heliopsis and lupin. Can I bow to your knowledge for some simple instructions, which way up and how far down would be a good start. Many thanks. murraymint

Where did you buy them from murraymint? There should be instructions in the catalogue you picked them from |

Hi Rita They were an offer in the Daily Mirror. They came from Van Muewen Limited. There are still some more plants to be delivered in March . Maybe the instructions will be in that package. Thanks. Let us know when your grandchild "blooms". Murraymint |
