Fall is spring underground
Tips on how and where
to plant bulbs
BY LIZ DOUVILLE
For The Spokesman
I don’t think gardeners stop
to appreciate how closely re-
lated the gardening seasons
really are. As one season starts
to fade, we plant for what is to
come. A favorite book is Karel
Capel’s “The Gardener’s Year.”
Capek plants the thought
that the fall season is actually
spring underground, with all
the activity of bulbs coming
to life.
The planting of procedure
bulbs is easy. The hard part
is the decision making of
“Should I choose this variety
or that?” The sooner those
decisions are made and the
orders placed, the better your
chances are of receiving a full
order.
Our local nurseries provide
us with ample selections of
the most popular bulbs, but
due to the comparatively short
shelf life in a retail situation it
would be impossible to stock
bins and bins of the more un-
usual ones. When selecting
bulbs from an open bin, big-
ger is better.

Bulbs make a more impressive statement if multiple bulbs of the same variety are planted in a group rather
than planted like soldiers in a straight row.

HOW TO PICK A BULB
The bigger the bulb, the
bigger the flower. The bulb
should also feel firm. Remem-
ber that bulbs used to force
indoors for winter gift giv-
ing or your own enjoyment
should be purchased now.
The red flag is up for tulips.
If you have a deer problem,
forget planting tulips unless
you have a deer-proof area.
Planting them in an unpro-
tected area is equivalent to
opening a candy store for the
deer.
Questions about shipping
and planting are always of
concern. Bulb suppliers ship
the orders when appropriate
for the area, not as soon as the
supplier receives your order.
The problem is that a
company ships according to
USDA zones and we all know
it is hard to pinpoint our exact
growing zone.
If you do receive the bulbs
before the soil temperature
is reliably at, or below, 45-50
degrees Fahrenheit, the rule
of thumb is to remove from
the packing material as soon
as possible. Store in a paper
bag or an open tray. Be sure to
keep them away from apples
and other fruit. Many types of
fruit release ethylene gas. In
an enclosed space like a refrig-
erator, this gas can build up
and cause damage to flower
buds.
If a refrigerator isn’t an op-
tion, the bulbs will remain
inactive between 55-65 de-
grees F. Take heart in the fact
that bulbs can be planted up
to the point of the ground be-
ing frozen. Once the bulbs are
planted with bulb fertilizer
and well-watered, cover the
area with 3 inches of mulch to
prevent bulbs from freezing
and thawing.
HOW DEEP TO PLANT? WHICH
WAY?
Bulbs that are prepackages
come with planting depth in-
structions to help take the
guess work out of the process.
The general rule is 3 times as
deep as the bulb is tall. Oth-
ers say the rule is 3 times the
diameter rather than the bulb
height. Either way the process
is not rocket science.

Bulbs make a more impressive statement if multiple bulbs
of the same variety are planted in a group rather than
planted like soldiers in a straight row.
The bulbs will emerge
sooner or later. Bulbs are
planted with the broadest
end, which is usually the root
end, to the bottom of the hole.
There again, if it is wrong, the
bulb will eventually right itself
and happily break through
the soil.
Bulbs require full to par-
tial sun. Avoid planting on
the south side of the house.
The accumulated heat from
the foundation and the house
siding will result in earlier
blooming but will also put
emerging bulbs at risk for
frost damage. Every year we
experience a week of “false
spring” which is always fol-
lowed by our return to normal
frosty weather.
Bulbs make a more im-
pressive statement if multi-
ple bulbs of the same variety
are planted in a group rather
than planted like soldiers in
a straight row. Planting bulbs
in an area of existing perenni-
als is a great idea. The dying
yellow foliage of the bulb will
be camouflaged by the new
growth of the perennials.
It is very important to allow
the dying foliage to remain
on the plant. The dying foli-
age provides the natural food
for nest season’s bloom. Dried
plant material can be removed
once the bulb has totally dried
back.
We sometimes forget the
care of existing bulb gardens.
Existing beds should be fertil-
ized in early spring at the first
emergence of the foliage and
again after bloom time when
the bulbs are storing up food
for the following year.
Suggestions for spring
bloom that are also tagged to
be deer-resistant include the
following:
• Snowdrops (Galanthus
Grape Hyacinth-Muscari)
• Glory of the Snow-Chi-
onodoxal Squill--Scilla
• Crocus Allium-spring
blooming
• Daffodils Giant Alli-
um-late spring/summer
• Crocus and Muscari are
easy bulbs for indoor forcing
for winter gift giving.
