Bulbs

Question

As an experienced gardener I planted lots of spring bulbs in pots and in the ground in groups. Unfortunately I have only had, perhaps one bulb per group, that has produced a flower head. I haven’t had any problems in the past. Why is this?

Answer 1

It could be some type of critter chewed on the bulbs, they didn't get adequate nutrition, or the leaves were not allowed to wither.after floweirng last spring. If you had a mild winter, they may not have received enough chill hours. Another possibility is overcrowding if the bulbs have been in the same pot or ground for years. Here is more:
