Guide

Most flower bulbs prefer a low nitrogen, high phosphorous fertilizer, such as bone meal, at planting time. Also, it is a good rule-of-thumb to let the foliage complete its seasonal cycle (DON'T cut it down just because bloom is over). Planting depth of fall bulbs may generally be measured as 3 times bulb diameter. Following is a growing guide for specific flower bulb genera.
