Caring for your Bulbs
After leaf shoots appear, water regularly and deeply, but do not keep the soil wet.
Lifting your Bulbs Discard any damaged or soft or rotted bulbs. Allow healthy bulbs to dry in a cool, airy spot. When the bulbs are completely dry, brush off the excess soil and store them in net bags or old stockings. Buying bulbs Bulk buying by mail order is the cheapest way to get large numbers of bulbs. If you plan on to buy your bulbs from a nursery, select firm, well-rounded bulbs with no soft spots. Troubleshooting Guide If your bulbs only flower once or don't give that trouble-free showing you expect, the variety you have chosen probably doesn't grow well in your climate.
