Plant Bulbs for Spring Flowers

Posted on September 21, 2026

It’s that time again to begin planning for spring color! Tulips, daffodils, alliums, crocus, and more can be planted now through early November, before the ground freezes. This will give the roots enough time to establish, so you can enjoy the gorgeous blooms that pop up in early spring!

PLANTING DIRECTIONS

Growing and planting bulbs is simple; if you have soil and sunlight, they will grow! Bulbs are perfect for around trees and bushes, alongside driveways or sidewalks, garden beds, or in fun pots.

1. Dig a hole of an appropriate depth for the bulb size (Follow package directions; approx. 3x the height of the bulb)
2. Add 1.5 heaping teaspoons of Bulb-Tone to each hole
3. Place the bulb in the hole, pointy side up (or root side down for corms and tubers)
4. Cover it firmly with soil and a layer of mulch if desired (Add gravel or ground seashells on top to help deter squirrels if needed)
5. Water thoroughly after planting
