Bulbs

Bulbs should be planted from September to October.

Bulbs reproduce under the ground, if they are not taken out every year they will multiply too much and will be too compacted, not having enough space to let the plant grow properly what will mean less flowering.

It is good to take the bulbs out of the ground at least every other year.

Here is a guide for bulb depth planning

They do not have scent. Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue. They are the official flower of Mexico. In the first trips of Hernán Cortés to Mexico, he reported they were used for a food source by the indigenous peoples, and were both gathered in the wild and cultivated. The Aztecs used them to treat epilepsy and employed the long hollow stem of the (Dahlia imperalis) for water pipes.
