When To Start What To Plant
The most widely available indoor bulbs are Hyacinth, daffodils (narcissi),
crocuses and tulips. Ensure the bulbs you purchase are specifically for
indoor cultivation. Others which are suitable include
snowdrops, iris, scillas, muscari and chionodoxas.
Blooming Flower Bulbs Indoors
The majority of indoor flowering bulbs take 12 weeks from planting to flowering.
Decide if you want all the bulbs to flower at the same time or in
succession and plant them using the 12 week rule.

Selecting
bulbs is easy - choose the largest, firm and healthy examples. In
the case of bulbs, size does matter, the larger the better (also more
expensive). Avoid examples which look unhealthy or are damaged.
