Planting Fall Bulbs

Now is the time to plant your bulbs!

Flower bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocus need to be planted in the fall before the first hard frost. Fall bulbs require a cold period in order to form roots.

Using a bulb planter can take the guesswork out of planting bulbs and make the process much quicker.

Freshly tilled soil will make it much easier to plant your bulbs. Once you've prepped your soil and arranged your bulbs the way you want, plant each bulb pointy side up. Typically bulbs are planted three times as deep as the bulb is tall but you can check the package to verify.

Deer and rabbit generally avoid eating the following bulbs:

• Daffodils

• Narcissus

• Hyacinths

• Allium (all types)

• Fall Flowering Crocus

• Iris (all types)

• Anemones (all types)

Unfortunately, deer love tulips.
