Happy April to all! With a question......

Will these drown if I water everyday?

I planted all kinds of bulbs that I have never planted before. Ranunculus, gladiolus, calla, caladium, crinum, lily, trillium, canna and probably some more that I am forgetting. Should I water them everyday, or just a few times a week till they sprout? Do they want to be consistently wet until they pop through the soil? I ammended the soil per each plants instructions and DG'ers advice.

Thanks for any info,
chris

The soil has to feel damp but certainly not water logged or the bulbs might rot!

Except for the canna - they can take a lot of water. Some (not all) can grow in up to 4" of standing water, so they are popular to put in ponds.

Ok thanks, I am going to check down in the soil abit instead of just watering as soon as I see the top dry. I will keep the canna a little bit wetter.
