What was checked
Mature height and spread, hardiness zones, sun, water, bloom months and color and the trait tags were checked against named botanical sources for this plant, with what the sources could not settle written down; years to mature size rests on a recorded house rule where no publisher states one, and is marked so; its common name and alternate names have not been checked yet. Each fact above carries its own mark. The planting, spacing and size sections are derived from these checked facts by a fixed rule, not checked separately, and the plant type is the library's own classification.
When to plant Mr. Fokker
Mr. Fokker is a fall-planted bulb: get it in the ground 6 to 8 weeks before the ground freezes, typically October or November in zone 8, the middle of its hardy zones 7 to 10. It pays you back the following April to June.
Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar; if you garden near zone 8, the middle of this plant's hardy range, start with zone 8 in October. Derived from the plant's category, zones and bloom months plus typical zone frost dates, not checked separately.
