Prepare The Soil
Use a rich soil with good drainage. To improve soils, use Navlet's Super Compost Plus for sunny locations, and Acid Planting Mix for shadier spots. Mix into soil to a depth of 8 inches. Add a small amount of bone meal or bulb fertilizer to the mixture.

Plant The Bulbs
Plant bulbs with their base sitting at a depth equal to a minimum of twice their height and space them twice their width apart. For a longer blooming season, stagger planting every two weeks.

Fertilize The Bulbs
Use Miracle Gro or any other liquid fertilizer after the growth is 6 inches tall. Fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks. This will keep the growth healthy and dark green.

Let Them Bloom
Bulbs are successful in the ground or in containers. For smaller spaced gardens, try planting in a variety of pots. Use Schultz Bulb Planting and Potting Mix. It's an ideal growing medium for bulbs and it contains Schultz's time-release plant food.
