Bulbs - Fall Planting
September and October are the best months for planting bulbs. This will allow ample time for the bulbs to become well rooted before the ground freezes. Bulbs planted after October may not have time to root adequately and therefore may not flower uniformly in the spring. Freezing and thawing during the winter may also push an un-rooted bulb out of the ground. Consider mulching the bed to maintain a more consistent soil temperature.
Quick Facts...
-
There is a direct correlation between the size of a bulb and the size of the flower grown from that bulb.
-
Late September is the preferred time to plant bulbs so they root well before the ground freezes.
-
The selected site should have adequate sunlight, be well drained and show the flowers off to their best advantage.
-
Bulbs are planted much deeper than seed; therefore, soil preparation methods differ. Plant bulbs with the growing tip up.
-
Fertilizer must be present in the root zone to be effective.
