When to plant bulbs depends on when they bloom. Spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, should be planted in September or October when the soil temperatures have cooled. Summer-blooming beauties such as dahlia and gladiolus are best planted in the spring after all danger of frost has passed.
What month should you plant bulbs?
Tulips, Daffodils, Fritillaria and all other spring flowering bulbs can be planted throughout September, October and November. Many types will perform perfectly well, even if planted well in to December but the trick is to get them in before the risk of frost, so that they can start producing roots.
Can you plant bulbs any time of the year?
Ideally, bulbs should be planted at least six weeks before hard, ground-freezing frost can be expected in your area. ... In warmer climates you may need to plant bulbs in December (or even later). If you miss planting your bulbs at the optimal time, don't wait for spring or next fall.
