Go for bulbs that are large in size because they are of higher quality, strong and survive for years. The package of the bulbs will usually have information about the spacing it needs while planting. So plan it according to the area estimate you made in the first step.

Prepare the planting area:
The best time to plant is early fall because the bulbs will have enough time to settle before the harsh winter arrives. Clear the weeds off the grounds. Til it and add compost if the soils needs additional organic content. Make the flower beds by making holes large enough to contain the bulbs, at the spacing mentioned on the package. Put the bulbs in these holes with the flat side in and pointed end facing upward. Cover with soil on sides. Add a slow releasing fertilizer to the flower bed. Water the bulbs, enough to reach the bottom.
