Top 5 low-maintenance bulbs for your garden

Not all bulbs need to be planted fresh, each year. This bunch of our garden editor's favourites will naturalise in the garden, making themselves a permanent home, and giving you a fabulous flower display, year after year.

They’re also tough customers, which will forgive a little neglect. Handy if you're an intrepid traveller or they just slip the mind from time-to-time. 

For more, check out the 5 best bulbs to grow in pots around the garden or balcony here.

Snowflakes bulbs

Snowflakes

Choose a location with full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil. If your soil isn’t rich in organic matter, work plenty of compost or composted manure into the bed before planting. Sprinkle a small amount of bulb fertiliser over the compost before digging it deep into the soil and you're done. 

Grab some here. 

Spring star flowers

These charming little blooming plants hail from Argentina and Uruguay and form dense clumps of perennial flowers to chase the winter downers away.
