The best time to plant fall bulbs in our area depends on the type of bulb. Below is a listing of varieties and the target dates that will insure your bulbs have the best chance.
If you are planting bulbs in Zone 3, plant them a week earlier.
If you are planting bulbs later than the target dates, plant them an inch or two deeper than normal and be sure to water them right away.
If you are planting them extremely late, plant them an inch or two deeper than they are normally planted, water them in right away and mulch with at least 6 inches of hay, straw or shredded leaves.
