1. Planting depths refer to depth of soil from top of bulb. Bulbs in light, fluffy soil can be planted deeper, in heavy soil shallower. Deep planting provides insulation in hot or cold climates.
2. Bulb spacing suggested provides for a mass planting effect while allowing space for 2 to 3 years growth before the need to divide the bulbs.
3. For larger beds multiply the average number of bulbs per square foot by the area in square feet.
4. See bulb packaging or supplier for details.
