Consider planting those spring-flowering bulbs to accent your perennial and shrubs beds sometime in the next two weeks. For Central Indiana, I generally recommend homeowners to have their bulbs planted around early October to ensure they will have enough time for root development before winter. As long as the soil temperatures are above 40 degrees F, the bulbs should continue their root growth.
Flowering bulbs will tolerate may types of soil but they will not survive long in poorly drained soils, therefore be sure to amend clay soils with organic matter to promote good drainage. Soil pH is also critical! The pH of the planting area should be in the 6-7 range. See below for additional tips on planting bulbs this fall.
