Our soil is called "sassafras" and is fairly sandy. And being nearer the
water we stay warmer in the Fall, but it takes longer to heat up in the
Spring.
These bulbs are planted under an American Holly tree in a bed with mostly
ephemerals and "wild" flowers in it. It is my "Spring" bed with Dutchman's
Breeches, Trillium, etc. so it is quite dry in the summer.
