Watering border with recently planted bulbs

[Longshanks]

Hi

We’ve planted tulips, allum speculum, dafs etc in bulbs in a recently created border. Instructions are to water after planting, but will I need to continue to water until the winter monsoons start?

Thanks

Allum siculum (spell checker?

No plant and forget, as with most bulbs in the UK

Bluebells, daffodils etc, are basic deciduous woodland plants designed to do most of their growing before the trees are in leaf, and so expect reduced water as the trees get it first. But also protection from summer sun, afforded by the trees.

OK, I planted mine in the lawn, but basic they are plant and forget, but I would not mow the lawn where they were, until they had died back.
