Most fall planted, spring bulbs seem to perform better when planted in cool soil, so it is best to plant after you have had your first killing frost but before the ground freezes hard. Most summer bulbs seem to resent being planted in soil cooler than 60°, so either wait to plant when the soil is warmer or pot up your bulbs and use bottom heat to get them started! And remember….whz (Winter Hardiness Zone) ONLY means how cold a winter the plant can survive in the garden – NOT whether or not it will love being in your garden in the summer!
