The most important rule when planting is to choose an
area that is well-drained. Most bulbs will rot or deteriorate
quickly where soil is constantly damp. Most
bulbs thrive in full sun, or at least 5-6 sunny hours
daily. Some, like Fritillaria and wood hyacinths prefer
filtered shade. Others, like tuberous begonias and caladiums,
do best in partial shade.
Soil Drainage
Most bulbs, perennials and many other garden plants
require ‘well-drained’ soil in order to thrive. Areas
that often have ’sitting’ water or constantly soggy soil
can quickly cause roots to rot and deteriorate, especially
over winter.

UPON ARRIVAL
We are often asked questions
about the proper storage of
the plant material we offer.
In response, we offer you
these guidelines.
Bulbs for Spring Planting
Plant the bulbs as soon as you receive your shipment.
If you cannot plant the bulbs immediately, remove the
bulbs from plastic bags and put them on a tray in a
cool, dark, dry, well-ventilated place until you have a
chance to plant them. Do not let the bulbs freeze.
Plant outdoors when the conditions are right for your
zone.
