Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant the bulbs during the autumn or winter months. Choose a location with fertile, well-draining soil in a spot that receives full sun or partial shade. Ensure the bulbs are planted at a depth appropriate for their size and water them well immediately after installation. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, add grit or mulch to improve drainage and prevent the bulbs from sitting in water. After the flowering season, remove the spent flower spikes (deadheading) but keep the foliage intact until it turns yellow and dies down naturally, as this is when the bulb stores energy for the following year. If you must store bulbs, choose a cool, dry, well-ventilated, and frost-free area, taking care to use containers that are rodent-proof.
