Hi:
I am a landscaper and designer. Properly preparing the soil beforehand planting any plant specimen is critical in have healthy plants. I would recommend to remove the mulch. Work your soil any with a tiller, (depending on the size) or shovel. See what your dirt looks existence. If you feel it wants some top soil, go ahead and capture some. You can also add some natural mushroom compost to the soil. This is an organic fertilizer that will later up to one year. It doesn't smell great, but your flowers will love it. Plant your flowers and bring the mulch back into the bed. I will correlation you to the site map, as this page has everything that is to say on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other articles, tips, or techniques that may be adjectives to you. There is a page on plan - prep - plant that may help you out. Good luck to you and enjoy a great day!

You can't plant flowers or anything else surrounded by mulch. You will have to verbs the mulch back until you find the soil plane. The mulch should not be deeper than three inches, otherwise it will create a nasty anaerobic environment that will move about sour. If it's been piled up year after year, you obligation to get rid of it - put it somewhere else that requirements mulch, or in a pile somewhere - and move no more than three inches.
After you plant the flowers, leave an unmulched ring around them. You don't want mulch right up to the stems, because that creates a place where on earth disease can take hold.
Answers: OK, everybody is right, unless you simply want a few spots of color for the summer. You don't sound close to a diehard gardener, you sound similar to you want a few pretty flowers. If that's the case and you don't want to bring in a major production of this afterwards just plant your annuals into pots, next to potting soil and nestle those into the mulch. You'll probably own to water them more than if they be in the ground, but at smallest you'll only hold to water the pots.
If you want perennials later you'll need to do adjectives the work suggested by others.
Good luck, and enjoy your flowers.
Isn't within dirt under the mulch? If within is landscaping cloth under the mulch, you can cut a slit contained by the fabric and plant the plants.
That is what I did within areas covered by pebbles and by mulch, although much of what I planted were perennials.
