Naturalizing, as the term implies, is a gardening style which provides a garden view as though Mother Nature had designed it. In the proper location, with time, planted bulbs will multiply and create a spectacular display of flowers. Lightly wooded areas, lawns, and rock gardens are the most popular places for naturalizing.
An article in Fine Gardening by Charles W.G. Smith provides instructions in 5 easy steps on how to plant a naturalized bulb garden:
- Scattering the bulbs
- Adjust the spacing
- Dig In
- Add compost
- Fertilize
The chart below from the article is a list of bulb candidates for naturalizing, planting guide and corresponding hardiness zones.
