Late spring, if you are planting bulbs plant them in fall.
I put all my bulbs that arn't ready for planting in my crisper in the fridge. It keeps them from growing and after I do plant them they always come up when its time.
Chief crops include fruits, hay, and bulbs for planting.
The bulbs will be dry when you plant them but will pick up moisture from the soil that will trigger growth.
If the flower blooms in the Spring, the bulbs should be separated in the Fall. However, this does not need to be done every year. It is recommended that bulbs are dug up and separated every 3 or 4 years. If the bulbs are growing short or unevenly, it is time to dig up the bulbs and separate them.
Fall is the best time so bulbs have the winter to be dormant then bloom in the spring. plant in the spring and they will come up but might not bloom
Amarillo is a perennial spreading bulb. Here in Georgia it blooms early July. Colors vary. Grows and does pretty well in our clay soil. Propagate by dividing bulbs in spring or well after the blooms have died.
sometimes, although they grow from a bulb, once the flower dies, you can cut it back and with a little luck it may bloom again next year, otherwise you Amy have to plant more bulbs the next year.
