Planting Schedule by Bulb Type

Daffodils & Crocuses: Plant from September to October so they can grow strong root systems before the cold winter.
Snowdrops, Iris & Hyacinths: Plant from September onwards.
Alliums: Plant from mid-to-late Autumn
Tulips: Wait until Late October to November to plant them; the cold soil helps stop a fungal disease called tulip fire

Late of forgotten bulbs: If you miss the ideal window, you can still plant most bulbs as late as December.

Quick Design & Planting Tips

General rule: Plant most Spring bulbs at a depth two to three times the height of the bulb itself

Layering in pots: You can stack different sizes in containers- tall, late-flowering bulbs at the bottom and small, early ones near the top; this process is called lasagne layering

Natural look: Scatter bulbs by hand and plant them where they fall rather then rigid lines
