Troubleshooting
Flowers are bending or breaking in the wind
The large, double blooms are heavy; move containers to a more sheltered spot or provide subtle support stakes for garden-planted bulbs.
Bulbs failing to emerge in spring
This is often caused by planting too shallowly, which prevents the bulb from getting the required winter cold, or poor drainage causing the bulb to rot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Planting Timing: Bulbs must be planted in late summer or autumn to allow for root development before winter.
- Planting Depth: Bury each bulb at a depth of 15cm. This is crucial for shielding the bulb from temperature fluctuations and ensuring the necessary winter cold treatment.
- Soil Requirements: Use moist, well-drained soil. If planting in pots, ensure the container has drainage holes to prevent the bulbs from sitting in water, which can lead to rot.
- Sunlight: Choose a sunny position to ensure strong stems and vibrant color development.
- Care: Keep the soil moderately moist during the active growing season. After flowering has finished, leave the foliage to die back naturally to allow the bulb to store energy for the following year.
