When should I plant bulbs for next spring?

Question

When should I plant new bulbs to come up next spring? I am looking at Hydrangea.

Answer 1

Did you mean Hyacinth bulbs?  September-October are ideal for planting bulbs.  Hydrangea is not a bulb, but a summer blooming shrub.  It can also be planted in the fall.

Answer 2

You need to plant your bulb in the fall of the year so they will be ready to bloom in the spring.

Answer 3

Jpad108,is right.   Hydrangea are bushes, tulips,daffodil, iris, tete-a-tete,

hyacinth, are all bulbs

Answer 4

It depends on where you live.  I am on the east coast of the U.S. and September/October is the optimum planting time for bulbs.

Answer 5

Bulbs can be planted in Sept, Oct, but Hydrangea are not bulbs, they are bushes and they can be planted now if you water them.
