When to plant?
Now! - is when to plant. Is it the right time to plant? Always! Just ask yourself where the bulbs would be right now if you had planted them last year. (These bulbs never have to be taken up.) Bulbs store best in the soil, which is of course their natural habitat, so the sooner you plant them, the better they will do. Even sitting there in dry ground. No need to water them until September or October. Even then you can wait until the rains come if you wish, it's just that once September arrives they are ready to make new roots if the opportunity should arise by being watered.

Early purchasing allows you the best selection of varieties to choose from, and an advantage to planting them soon after purchase is that it eliminates the risk that you will forget to plant them at all.
