I recently received some Azure Alliums, Snow Crocus, and Red Dynasty
Tulip Bulbs, however, I am not sure when I should plant them. I assume
I should do it now?? Can anyone confirm? I am in Zone 7, Chattanooga,
TN. Also, is there any problem with planting all these in the same
small garden?

Thanks,
Scott


Plant them RIGHT NOW. They'll bloom in spring.

Is this true of our Mediterranean climate (So. Calif coastal) -- I
mean, plant them right now? I just bought some bulbs (Watsonia
Snowbell) at the Huntington plant sale, and haven't a clue.

This is my first time with bulbs.

The best place to ask would be a local garden center (not Wal-Mart, etc.,
but a true garden center.) They should be selling plants appropriate to
your are and can answer your specific questions. You probably realize that
some bulbs require pre-chilling before planting in warm climates or they
won't bloom. You can often buy them already chilled or you can do it
yourself.

I bought these at the Huntington Botanical Gardens. I asked about
chilling, but the person who sold the bulbs said that the Watsonia
Snowball didn't require chilling like tulips.

Guess I'll call/email them to check on planting times.
