They reach a mature height of approximately 15cm.
Ensure they were planted in a spot receiving adequate sunlight and that the soil is not overly waterlogged.
This may indicate poor drainage or overwatering; check that the soil medium allows excess moisture to escape.
For optimal growth, plant these bulbs in late autumn. Dig holes at a depth approximately twice the height of the individual bulb to ensure proper insulation and root development. If planting in pots, choose deep containers to allow the root system enough room to mature. Maintenance is straightforward: simply ensure the soil remains well-draining throughout the winter. After the blooming period concludes, resist the urge to trim the foliage immediately. Allow the leaves to turn yellow and die back naturally; this process is essential as it allows the bulb to store energy for the following year's growth. Always wear gloves when handling bulbs due to their toxic nature.
