Check on-line for your average frost date. Any time before that date.
Last week of Oct. to first 2 weeks in Nov., but the latter date will further delay bloom time and you'll be working against cold and rain.
I'm still planing this weekend in MI
The best route to success with spring flower bulbs is to plant them at the optimum times. Ideally, bulbs should be planted at least six weeks before hard, ground-freezing frost can be expected in your area. I have had success with planting them a little deeper than normal to protect them if I get them in late.
Hello Joa,
If you want spring-blooming flowers like daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, you need to think ahead and get the bulbs in the ground before the first hard frost. They need a long period of cold weather to initiate the biochemical process that causes them to bloom and time to develop roots. "
