How to Plant Bulbs in Your Garden:

• Prepare the Bed. Dig out the soil to the proper planting depth. A shovel is quicker and easier than a trowel.
• Condition the Soil. Loosen the soil an additional 4 to 6 inches and add bulb fertilizer. If your soil is sandy, mix it with peat moss or leaf compost. For clay-based soil, add coarse sand or peat moss. This helps improve drainage.
• Plant the Bulbs. Place the bulbs firmly in the soil, pointed end up. Plant bulbs in clusters of 10 or more to produce the best effect. Tulips, Daffodils, Iris and Hyacinth bulbs should be planted about 8 inches deep and about 4 to 6 inches apart, while Crocus, Muscari and other Specialty Bulbs like Snowdrops should be planted about 5 inches deep and about 3 inches apart.
• Cover with Soil and Mulch. Cover the bulbs with soil, water well, and then add a thin layer of mulch. Colder climates may require thicker mulch.

Where to Plant. Easy-to-plant spring-flowering bulbs can be planted almost anywhere in well-drained soil, full sun to partial shade. Warm climates are more challenging and may require pre-cooling of the bulbs each fall prior to planting. Use in unlimited combinations as spectacular borders and groupings. We package our bulbs in what we consider to be the minimum grouping quantities so that you attain a dramatic effect.

TULIP Bulb Care: In the spring, at the end of the season, be sure to top the blooms off of your tulips before they start to fall. We recommend that you dig your tulip bulbs each year, after the foliage has died down completely. They may be dug and stored away from direct heat and cold, with adequate ventilation, and re-planted with a good fertilizer in the fall, along with any new bulbs you plant
