Bulb and Bare Root Planting Guides

Posted on October 29, 2020


Planting Guides 

Daffodils- Choose a sunny spot to plant your daffodil bulbs that receives at least 6 hours of full sun. With a trowel dig a hole that is about 6 inches deep or deep enough that 4 inches of soil will cover the top of the bulb. Bone meal can be mixed in with the soil. Plant bulbs pointed side up. Bulbs can be planted November-December to be enjoyed in the Spring. 

Hyacinth- Choose a spot to plant your hyacinth bulbs. Hyacinth will tolerate some shade. With a trowel dig a hole that is about 3-4 inches deep. Bone meal can be mixed in with the soil. Plant bulbs pointed side up. Bulbs can be planted November-December to be enjoyed in the Spring. 

Dutch Iris- Choose a sunny spot to plant your iris bulbs that receives at least 6 hours of full sun. With a trowel dig a hole that is about 2-3 inches deep. Bone meal can be mixed in with the soil. Plant bulbs pointed side up. Bulbs can be planted November-December to be enjoyed in the Spring. Looks best when planted in a group!

Allium- Choose a sunny spot to plant your allium bulbs that receives at least 6 hours of full sun. With a trowel dig a hole that is about 4 inches deep. Bone meal can be mixed in with the soil. Plant bulbs pointed side up. Bulbs can be planted November-December to be enjoyed in the Spring. 

Tulips- Choose a sunny spot to plant your tulips that receives at least 6 hours of full sun. With a trowel dig a hole that is about 6-8 inches deep or deep enough that at least 4 inches of soil will cover the top of the bulb. Bone meal can be mixed in with the soil. Plant bulbs pointed side up. Bulbs can be planted November-December to be enjoyed in the Spring. 

Peonies- Choose a sunny spot to plant your peony crown. If possible, have it be in a cool spot as well, i.e. a low spot on your property, protected from afternoon sun. Plant with the sprouts facing up as if to emerge from the ground. Cover with soil but make sure not to cover the sprouts too deeply. Peonies are prone to rot if planted too deeply.
