In naturalizing with bulbs, begin with the notion that they look best in clumps or clusters of multiple individuals. Nature does it this way, and she is a reliable guide. Plant your bulbs in soil with good drainage and give them a helping of fertilizer in fall. They'll reward you with larger clumps each year or new plants spread by seed.
