Hi Kathy:
Slow release fertilizers are probably not very good for bulbs. Use either a 
good potato or tomato fertilizer. Bulb plants need higher potassium (K) 
than nitrogen (N). Commercial bulb fertilizers and bone meal may not be 
that good. Feed when the plants are in active growth. We have found that 
Miracle Grow works resaonably well for bulbs too.
