Flower Bulbs - A whole flower within a bulb
Flower bulbs are an easy way to a beautiful flower garden. The whole flower exists inside
the bulb and is just waiting to come out. To enjoy the beauty of bulb flowers you only have to decide
how many you want to plant and what kind of colors and forms you want to see (mass plantings vs.
single blooms), and when to plant them.

Hints on how to arrange and plant your flower bulbs:
choose a location that drains well-overly wet soil can lead to rotting bulbs.
plant the bulb with the pointed side up.
plant small bulbs 2-4 inches apart, large bulbs 6-8 inches apart, and extra large bulbs like such as
Giant Alliums 10-12 inches apart.
most bulbs need 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
plant your flower bulbs as soon as you get them home, when the ground temperatures have fallen to 60
degrees Fahrenheit. See the U.S. bulb planting Regions Map
plant the bulb twice the depth of the height of the bulb
when you are finished planting the bulbs, water the area heavily, it helps your flower bulbs to settle
in the soil.
large groups of blooming flowers are more impressive then a few single ones standing by themselves.
If you want to achieve this look, concentrate all of your bulbs into one small area and buy more of one
or two kinds rather than lot of different kind of bulbs.
