There is some discussion about whether or not bonemeal is still good to use on bulbs. The bottom line is that the way bonemeal is made these days (much like everything else), lots of the nutrients have been taken out. It still is a good source of phosphorus though and may be used if you prefer. It just takes the bulb a little longer to get it into a form that it can use.
A better and cheaper solution is buying a bulb booster fertilizer such as Bulbs Alive!.
This all natural, slow release fertilizer should be applied to your soil when planting bulbs in the fall. It gives them a great start and results in sharper colors and healthier plants come spring.
Apply it to your already established bulbs in the spring when leaves emerge.
