As with everything else in gardening it is important to start with the best planting stock available. The size and condition of the bulbs you plant will more than anything determine the flowers you get. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. Many of the bargain bulb offers you see are of inferior quality, incorrectly named, undersized and often diseased. You invest time and money in your garden, give yourself a head start by buying the best bulbs you can find.
