Navlet's Mini-Clinic Archive - How To "Force" Bloom Bulbs
"Forcing"
bulbs is a term used to describe forcing bulbs to bloom out of their usual,
natural blooming season. It's a great way to enjoy beautiful blooming
bulbs year round. Forced bulbs do best in containers, affording you more
control over their environment. Plus they make great gifts!
