Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, begin by soaking your tubers in water for one hour to rehydrate them. Plant them at a depth of 3-5 cm in fertile, well-drained soil. If planting in containers, always incorporate grit into the potting mix to facilitate drainage and prevent bulb rot. Choose a sunny, sheltered location in your garden. Plant in either autumn or spring, ensuring you wait until the last risk of frost has passed. During the growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Deadhead the flowers regularly to promote further blooming. During winter, protect the tubers from excessive cold and moisture to ensure they return healthy in the following season.
