Planting Instructions Plant bulbs in spring or fall, placing them 4-6 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart. Choose a location with good drainage and adequate air circulation. Ensure the soil is loose and enriched with organic matter. Plant with the pointed end facing upward and water thoroughly after planting.
