Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal growth, plant your bulbs in the autumn in a sunny spot that is protected from strong, damaging winds. Ensure your soil is well-drained; if you have heavy clay soil, mix in grit or sand to improve drainage and prevent the bulbs from sitting in water. Plant bulbs at a depth of roughly three times their own height. Once established in the spring, apply a balanced bulb-specific fertilizer to encourage vibrant blooms. After the flowers fade, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this process stores energy in the bulb for the following season's growth.
