Wondering about the best time to purchase and plant these bulbs? As a general rule, bulbs that bloom in early, mid and late spring are available in the fall and should be planted between September and November. Bulbs that bloom from early through late summer are available in the spring and should be planted after danger of frost has passed. Autumn crocus and colchicum are planted in late summer.
