I've never done bulbs before and am new to gardening. Can I still plant bulbs in my zone this late if so what kind?
Thanks

new to bulbs
Summer bulbs should do ok. Glads, Dahlias, canna, crocosmia, eucomis,
Gloriosa, Amaryllis, Hymenocallis, Ixia, Nerine, Tuberose, Scadoxus, Tigridia, Zantedeschia, Zephyranthes...
Don't forget Caladiums too.
Thank you both for the help :) I think I know what I'll be doing tomorrow!
Now is the perfect time to plant Caladiums.....
I cannot recommend Dahlia's for deep south (hot and humid that is) and Nerine filifolia is the only Nerine that persists down here.
Also add Crinums, Schizostylus coccinea (now called Hesperantha coccinea) for damp areas, Cypella species, Rhodophiala's, Herbertia species, Bessera Elegans, Chilidanthus fragrans (the most fragrant bulb there is--in my opinion), and Habranthus species.
