    I've bought some bulbs (Allium Unofolium) and on the info card, it says that they are great for naturalizing.

    What does this mean? I've never heard it
    used before :shrug:

    A good example is with daffodils. You find where you want them to grow and then, just toss them out. Where they fall, you plant them. It's like putting things where mother nature would put them. Hope that helps some. Dooley

    Hi there and welcome to our forums. You'll find lots to talk about here and even more to do. Why not start a blog, put yourself on the members map, add important events to our calendar or simply sit back and enjoy chatting to us all?!!! :D

    By the way Dooley is right Teddy about how to naturalise bulbs in your garden.

    Here are a couple of websites that you might like to peruse to see exactly what she means.
