Planting advice

Plant during September–November. For the most natural display, loosen the soil thoroughly and distribute the bulbs in informal groups rather than straight rows. Where the collection contains different bulb types, follow the stated depth range and place the larger bulbs deepest, with smaller bulbs or corms nearer the surface. Choose full sun in gritty, freely drained soil. Water after planting if the soil is dry, but avoid ground that remains waterlogged.

Aftercare

Allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering. When naturalising in grass, delay mowing until the leaves have faded so the corms can build energy for the following spring.

Healthy planting stock in 8/9cm grade, carefully packed by Patch and ready for autumn planting. Available pack sizes: 100 Bulbs, 300 Bulbs, 50 Bulbs.

Please note: Ornamental bulbs and corms are not for eating. The bulbs are supplied dormant; natural marks on the outer skin are normal. Flowering time, height and colour intensity can vary with local weather, soil and growing conditions.
