Maybe not the Charmin but certainly squeeze the bulbs before purchasing. When purchasing bulbs make sure they are healthy and firm without blemishes on the surface. Select the largest bulbs with those qualities for the best blooms. Bulbs that are small for the variety may not even bloom in the first year. If you buy early for the best selection, keep them in a cool, dry area until planting time.
