Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant the bulbs in autumn in moist, well-drained soil. If planting in pots, ensure the container has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Position the bulbs approximately 10-15cm deep and space them 10cm apart to allow for proper root development. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this stores energy in the bulb for next year's blooms. Avoid cutting the leaves until they have completely turned yellow. In rockeries, ensure the surrounding soil is loose enough to allow the bulbs to establish without competition from aggressive root systems.
