Especial care should be taken in planting the precious 
bulbs, to see that they have every chance of success, and 
play their full part in beautifying the garden. How deep 
should bulbs be planted? 
In general, about four times the diameter of the bulb. 
The beginner should not understand by this rule that 
precision measurement is required, and an inch more or 
less may mean the success or failure of the flower. 
At the same time, the planter would do well to see that 
his bulbs are planted approximately at the optimum depth. 
Tulips, for example, if planted much deeper than the recom- 
mended 5 to 6 inches (above the top of the bulb) will 
probably bloom, but likely later than you expect. If planted 
less than the recommended depth, they may also bloom, 
and at the right time. But should the winter be an open 
one, with lots of freezing and thawing, shallow-planted 
tulips are likely to be heaved entirely out of the ground. 
They certainly will be a risk. 
If the ground in which the bulbs are planted has been 
newly spaded, and is quite loose, the depths should be 
increased an inch or so, to allow for settling, and because 
of the increased effect of frost heaving on newly turned 
soil. Also, late planted bulbs, which have no opportunity to 
make roots before the soil freezes, may be set a little deeper, 
to protect them from frost action. 
Tulips should be set 5 to 6 inches deep. Narcissi need 
about the same depth from the top of the bulb, but owing 
to the different shape and sometimes the much larger size, 
the base of the bulbs is usually deeper than the tulips. 
Snowdrops and scillas should go down about 2 to 3 inches. 
Crocuses should have 2 inches of soil over them. The 
erythroniums need about 4 inches of cover. 
The lilies need the deepest planting, and most of them 
can go as deep as 7 to 10 inches with good results. The 
distance apart is rather elastic, but in general 5 inches is 
the closest any of them should be planted. In all cases 
bulbs should be planted in well drained soil.
