Gardeners know that choosing a site for a plant involves more than the common "sun or shade." Soil, slope, and moisture are all taken into account. In the case of geophytes—plants with bulbs, corms, tubers, etc., that store nutrients during a dormant season—we must also consider the climatic cycle. Do the plants grow and flower in winter, spring, summer, or fall? Do they tolerate moisture during their dormant seasons? Understanding where geophytes come from is crucial to growing them well.
