Frequently Asked Questions

What Size Bulb Auger Do I Need to Plant Daffodil Bulbs?

Daffodil bulbs have an average diameter of about 2 to 3 inches. To plant larger bulbs like daffodils, you should consider a bulb auger with a diameter of 3 or 5 inches. For smaller bulbs like crocuses or tulips, you might consider a tulip bulb auger drill bit. If you’re still unsure what bulb auger you need, check out our auger guide or take our auger quiz. 

What Is the Correct Way to Plant Bulbs with A Bulb Planter?

Planting bulbs correctly starts with choosing a suitable location with well-draining soil and adequate sunlight.
