Intermediate Day
Intermediate-day varieties require 12-14 hours of sunlight before beginning the bulbing process. Unless you live in far south Florida or south Texas you should have enough daytime hours to make good sized bulbs. When planted at the proper time, all varieties mature in approximately 110 days. The recommended planting time is 4-6 weeks before your last average frost date.
Plants are shipped directly from the grower, depending on your climate zone and transit weather conditions, beginning in January through April or early May.
