Plan to crowd them…this is not the time to be stingy. Bulbs grow in a shallow bowl surrounded with pebbles, a low pot filled with dirt, or even a tall clear vase that is wide enough to hold a cluster of bulbs set on top of some rocks. Whether you use pebbles, marble chips or dirt, put a layer of your chosen planting medium in the bottom of your dish, and place the bulbs on top of this layer... you can crowd bulbs close together, but not touching each other. Cover the bulbs with the soil or rocks leaving the tips of the bulbs exposed. Wet the planted bulbs until the water reaches the base of the bulbs; the soil or rocks in the bottom of the container keep the bulbs from staying too damp. Put the finished container in a sunny window, and remember to water just before it gets dry. Blooms will be about 2-3 weeks.
