I remember reading some where that lots of bulbs (especially daff's) will pull themselves down into the soil over time. Since you are in zone 8a they shouldn't be planted as deeply as if you were in zone 5. When I lived in San Francisco I loved big beds of Freesia. I thought they had been eaten by critters or met some other bad end, not so. They had pulled themselves down to about 6" over a two year period. What a pleasant surprise.
