- Plant fall bulbs now for spring color.
- The fall months, specifically September and October, are the best times to plant bulbs for a colorful display next spring.
- To break out of their dormant state, bulbs need 12 – 14 weeks of cold temperatures (below 45 degrees).
- There are many different bulbs to choose from including; tulips, daffodils, crocus, and alliums.
- You can plant the bulbs individually or in a mass to create a more vibrant display.
- Water well when you plant the bulbs in fall as this will stimulate the roots to begin their growth.
- Keep the soil moist over the winter and continue throughout the blooming period as necessary.
- It is a good idea to mulch the soil where you have planted the bulbs.
- Mulch will keep the soil from drying out and help moderate soil temperature so it does not warm up too quickly.
