"Yes, plant bulbs so they have about 2" of dirt covering them. Starting them in a 4" pot is OK. What size bulbs are they?
The MG potting soil works great!! It's light and it drains well. I use it too but I also mix in Peat humus. A combination of Peat Humus and MG potting soil will do the best!!
You can add "a little" fertilizer to each pot. I would put the bulb down 2", cover it with an inch of dirt and then sprinkle "a little" 6-6-6 and then cover with the remaining inch of dirt"

ok, they are up! and I hate them
laugh, isn't that ridiculous- they look just like the pics, why didn't I know this before I bought them?!
They are very cool and gorgeous in their own way, I just don't like them and don't know why. Probably cause Karen went over and tried to pick one up thinking it was trash caught in the hostas :/ then she laughed at me, and said- oh! those are pretty.....I know they aren't- I have eyes- they look ridiculous in our yard- I placed them too far apart and picked exactly the wrong coloration for the spot- they look like windblown trash, and we have enough of that thank you!
