How to Plant

Plant in autumn with the growing point uppermost, approximately about three times the bulb’s own depth deep and allow roughly 15–20cm between bulbs apart. Choose full sun with moderately fertile, freely drained soil. Water after planting if the soil is dry. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally so the bulb or corm can replenish its reserves.
