Generally, flower bulbs need to be precooled prior to planting in
horticultural zones 8 and warmer. (It is recommended that tulips similarly
be prechilled in horticultural zone 7 in the event of a mild winter.) One
should confirm both the horticultural zone of their particular micro-climate
as well as instructions on precooling through a local garden center or local
horticultural authority.
In the warmer climates of horticultural zone 8 (immediately following
precooling), flower bulbs should be planted in partial sunlight to protect
them from scorching sun and heat and thereby help to prolong the blooming
period. Make sure to never plant flower bulbs shallow; follow the planting
instructions and plant them at least as deep as specified. A light 2"
covering of mulch also helps to retain moisture in the soil as well as to
keep the soil a bit cooler. Also make sure that they receive proper watering
if rainfall is insufficient.
