Here's a more detailed breakdown:
* Timing: The ideal time to plant is when the soil temperature drops to around 60°F (15.5°C). This allows the bulbs to develop roots before the ground freezes.
* Region: The specific planting dates will vary slightly based on your location and climate. In warmer regions, you might plant a bit later, while in colder regions, you'll want to plant earlier.
* General Guidelines:
* Northern US and Canada: Plant in September or early October.
* Mid-Atlantic and Northeast: Plant in October.
* Southern US: Plant in October or November.
Important considerations:
* Don't plant too early: If you plant too early, the bulbs might start to grow before the cold weather arrives, making them susceptible to damage.
* Don't plant too late: If you plant too late, the bulbs might not have enough time to develop roots before the ground freezes.
* Check the soil: Ensure the soil is well-drained. Planting in heavy, wet soil can lead to rot.
* Depth: Plant bulbs 2-3 times their height deep in the soil.
* Spacing: Space bulbs 4-6 inches apart for proper growth.
