Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Time: Plant bulbs in autumn for spring flowering.
Location: Choose a spot that receives full sun and is sheltered from harsh, drying winds.
Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained. If planting in clay-heavy soil, incorporate grit or organic matter to improve drainage.
Planting Depth: Bury bulbs approximately 15cm deep, with the pointed end facing upward.
Maintenance: After flowering, remove the seed heads but allow the foliage to yellow and die back completely. This process allows the bulb to store energy for next year's growth.
