Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Time: Place bulbs in the ground or pots during the autumn months when the soil has cooled.
Soil Requirements: Ensure the planting site has excellent drainage. If you have heavy clay soil, mix in horticultural grit or sand to prevent the bulbs from sitting in stagnant water.
Depth & Spacing: Plant the bulbs at a depth of roughly 10-15cm, with approximately 10cm of space between each bulb.
Sunlight: 'Bridal Crown' performs best in full sun to partial shade.
Post-Bloom Care: Once flowering ends, allow the foliage to die back naturally. This process feeds the bulb for next year’s growth. Do not braid or cut the leaves until they have completely turned yellow/brown.
