## How to Grow Bulbs on Top of Rocks

This is a great way to add some color to your garden without taking up too much space. These plants will do well in dry, sunny locations and will bloom for several weeks in the spring.

Things You'll Need:

- Rocks

- 2-3 inches of soil

- Fertilizer

- Water

Instructions:

1. Clean the rocks thoroughly before planting. This will remove any dirt, dust, or debris that could interfere with the growth of the bulbs.

2. Add a layer of soil to the top of the rocks. The soil should be rich in organic matter and well-draining.

3. Plant the bulbs in the soil. The bulbs should be planted at least 2 inches deep and spaced about 3 inches apart.

4. Cover the bulbs with soil and water them thoroughly.

5. When the bulbs start to sprout, fertilize them with a balanced fertilizer according to the package instructions.

6. Water the plants regularly, especially during dry spells.

7. Deadhead the flowers as they fade to encourage new blooms.
