Planting Instructions
Undemanding bulbs that are happy either in full sun or partial shade. All they require is well-drained soil. If left undisturbed, they are capable of self-sowing.
Spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall. They need cool soil to make roots before the onset of winter. Cool fall weather arrives at different times from north to south and from high elevations to low.
Please note that the temperature of the soil lags behind the air temperature. You can generally plant later than the windows provided in this map. As long as the ground is not frozen, you can still plant.
