When should I plant spring-blooming bulbs like tulips and alliums?

Plant spring-blooming bulbs in the fall, before the ground freezes, for blooms the following season. Our bulbs are sourced directly from Holland and selected for exceptional size, vigor, and bloom performance.

Which end of the bulb faces up when planting?

down into the soil. If you're having trouble telling the difference, look for any remnants of roots to help identify the bottom.

How deep should I plant my bulbs?

A reliable rule of thumb is to plant bulbs at a depth roughly two to three times their height. For example, a two-inch bulb should be planted four to six inches deep.

Do I need to water my bulbs after planting?

Yes. Give your bulbs a thorough watering after planting to help encourage strong root development. If you're growing in containers, keep a closer eye on soil moisture, as pots tend to dry out more quickly than garden beds.

What are waxed amaryllis bulbs, and how do they work?

Waxed amaryllis bulbs are pre-coated in wax, so they contain everything they need to bloom without any soil, water, or planting required. Simply set them out and enjoy the blooms as they emerge.
