Horticultural Tips Store bulbs in cool, dry conditions with good ventilation prior to planting. Never in a warm or damp area in a closed box. Plant bulbs in well-draining soil. Generally, the best soil is a sandy loam. Follow the instructions for planting depths and sunlight requirements.
Flower bulbs prefer neutral pH soil.
Water the area thoroughly after planting unless heavy rains or a hard freeze are expected. Mulch should not be more than about two inches thick. To promote perennialization, do not cut flowers from your display gardens. The bloom times listed are for horticultural zone five.
