Bon Vance, Extension horticulturist at Iowa State University, recommends planting daffodils in September and October for root development before cold weather. Tulips also prefer early October planting, with deep planting reducing tulip spread and extending bloom life. He suggests Darwin hybrid tulips, and advises considering peonies such as Japanese varieties and single peonies, noting peony varieties carry rating numbers from the American Peony Society.
