Patty, you should water everything when you first plant. Not only does it give the bulb\plant a jump start, it will get rid of air pockets in the soil. And if we have drought conditions again this year like a year ago, an occasional supplemental watering will be beneficial. ![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)

Patty, I've always watered my bulbs when I first plant them, but my beds have good drainage so I never really worried about them rotting. ![[Roll Eyes]](im/rolleyes.gif)
