Cover the tuber with soil, then water each of the tubers thoroughly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-4\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eShipping \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eSorry, we do not ship outside the U.S. or to Hawaii due to agricultural restrictions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe guarantee safe arrival of healthy bulbs, that varieties will be true-to-name, and will grow if planted as instructed, subject to the limitations described in our \u003ca title=\"Shipping and Returns\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lilypadbulbs.com\/shipping-and-returns\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eShipping and Returns Policy\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eWe begin shipping our bulbs, tubers, and perennials in mid-February through Spring.
