A member of the onion family, these unusual globe-shaped flowers add dramatic flair to any garden. There are many different varieties that bloom in May through June. Because they are spring bulbs, they must be planted in the fall.
Start off by digging a hole, three to four times the diameter of the bulb. Place the bulbs in the hole with the points facing up towards you. Make sure that the bulbs are not touching each other. For medium and larger bulbs, dig the hole about eight inches deep and be sure to give the bulbs some space to grow so that they can produce blooms that are up to ten inches wide.
Add some bulb food before filling in the hole. Now just water them and wait for the vibrant blooms.
