FAQs
Can I grow these in containers?
Yes, they are ideal for containers, troughs, and window boxes due to their miniature stature.
Do I need to lift the bulbs in winter?
No, these are hardy and are designed to stay in the ground to naturalize over several years.
How deep should I plant them?
Plant at a depth of two to three times the height of the bulb.
What happens if they don't flower the first year?
Ensure they have had a sufficient cooling period and are getting enough sun; they often perform better in their second year.
Should I cut the leaves down after they flower?
Only after the leaves have turned yellow, as the foliage is needed to feed the bulb for next year's growth.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to emerge in spring
Check if the bulbs were planted too deeply or if the soil remained too wet during winter, which can lead to rot.
Small, spindly growth
The bulbs may need more sunlight; ensure they are in a spot receiving at least 6 hours of light, or apply a light application of balanced fertilizer.
