Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Timing: Bulbs should be planted in October or November while the soil is still workable.
Depth: Position each bulb with the pointed end facing upward at a depth of approximately 10cm.
Soil Conditions: Ensure the soil is moist and well-draining to prevent bulb rot.
Placement: Select a site that offers sun or semi-shade.
Post-Bloom Care: After the flowers fade, allow the leaves to turn yellow and die back naturally before removing them in June or July. This process allows the plant to send energy back into the bulb for the next year.
