FAQs

When is the best time to plant these bulbs?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn to ensure they are established before the ground freezes and to prepare them for spring flowering.

Can I grow 'Apricot Whirl' in pots?

Yes, they are excellent for containers. Ensure the pot has good drainage and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.

How deep should I plant them?

For optimal growth, plant each bulb 10cm deep.

Do I need to lift the bulbs after the season?

No, they are hardy perennials and can be left in the ground year-round as long as the soil remains well-drained.

Can I plant them in full shade?

While they tolerate part shade, they will perform best and produce more blooms when provided with full sun to part sun exposure.

How many bulbs are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 bulbs.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to emerge in spring

Ensure they were planted at the correct 10cm depth and that the soil did not become waterlogged during winter.

Flowers are small or stunted

This may indicate the soil is lacking nutrients. Apply a light top-dressing of organic fertilizer after the flowering period ends.

Pros and Cons

  • Striking aesthetic with unique apricot-pink ruffled centers
  • Suitable for both container gardening and traditional flower beds
  • Excellent for use as fresh-cut flowers indoors
  • Low-maintenance perennial that returns each spring
  • Thrives in both full sun and partial shade

  • Bulbs must be planted in autumn for spring results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, plant your 'Apricot Whirl' bulbs in the autumn. Dig a hole approximately 10cm deep, ensuring the pointed end of the bulb is facing upward. Space bulbs roughly 10-15cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development. They prefer soil that is moist but well-drained; if your soil is heavy clay, mix in some organic matter or grit to improve drainage. Keep the soil lightly watered during the dry spells of spring. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally rather than cutting it down immediately; this ensures the bulb stores enough energy for the following season.
