FAQs
When is the best time to plant these bulbs?
These should be planted in the autumn months before the ground freezes to ensure they establish roots before spring.

How deep should I plant them?
Plant the bulbs approximately 10cm deep.
Do I need to dig them up after winter?
No, Cornish Niveth are hardy perennials and can be left in the ground year-round to naturalize.
Are these bulbs safe for pets?

Do they prefer full sun or shade?
They are flexible and will perform well in both full sun and semi-shade conditions.
Troubleshooting
Flowers are not emerging in the spring
Ensure bulbs were planted deep enough (10cm) and check that the soil has adequate drainage, as excess water can cause bulbs to rot in the ground.
Foliage is present but no blooms appear
The bulbs may not have received enough sunlight the previous season or the foliage was cut back too early the year before, preventing energy storage.
Skin irritation after planting
Immediately wash hands with warm soap and water. Use barrier cream or gloves for future contact with bulbs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal growth, plant your bulbs approximately 10cm deep and 10cm apart in soil that is moist but well-drained. Before handling the bulbs, it is recommended to wear gardening gloves to avoid skin irritation from the bulb dust or sap. While the bulbs are dormant, avoid over-saturating the soil to prevent rot. Once the flowering period concludes, resist the urge to trim the foliage immediately. The green leaves are essential for photosynthesis, which nourishes the bulb for the following season. Allow the foliage to turn yellow and die back naturally before cleaning up the garden bed. These bulbs pair exceptionally well with other early-spring bulbs like Muscari or miniature tulips for a layered, professional display.
