Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Time: Plant bulbs in autumn for the best results, as this allows the roots to establish before winter dormancy.
Soil Requirements: Ensure the soil is rich, fertile, and remains moist; consider adding organic matter to sandy soils to help retain water.
Planting Depth: Bury the bulbs approximately 10-15 cm deep, spacing them 15-20 cm apart to allow adequate room for growth.
Sun Exposure: These plants perform best in full sun or partial shade, provided the moisture levels are consistent.
Maintenance: Leave the foliage to die back naturally after the flowers have faded. This allows the plant to store energy in the bulb for the following year's growth.
