BULBS & RHIZOMES

Consider this general rule of thumb for planting bulbs: Plant spring-blooming bulbs in the fall; plant summer- and fall-blooming bulbs in the spring. 

It is also important to consider your USDA growing zone when planting bulbs.  This vital information is an indicator as to whether the bulbs you plant will survive.  The Charlotte region of North Carolina is USDA Growing Zone 8a. ​
