Hey everyone! I just received my summer bulbs from the offer that was highlighted in the community, and as a first-time homeowner looking to dive into gardening, I'm excited but a bit overwhelmed. Here's what I've got:
- 6 gladiolus large flowered mix
- 60 oxalis iron cross
- 9 freesia single mixed
- 30 acidanthera
- 20 laitris spicata mixed
- 6 crocosmia mixed
- 15 triteleia queen fabiola
- 15 sparaxis mixed
I have a few questions: When's the best time to plant these? Do any of them need to be dug up for winter? What about sun exposure and soil requirements? How deep do I plant them? Any other tips you can share would be amazing!

Hey! I just got my bulbs too and I'm planning to wait about three weeks before planting them in my garden. I'm thinking of putting the gladioli at the back since they're tall. Better to let them acclimate a bit!
