Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting: Plant the bulbs in the autumn (September to November), ensuring the pointed end faces upwards. The ideal planting depth is usually around 4-6 inches, with spacing of about 3-4 inches apart.
Location: Choose a location with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. They thrive in areas that receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Soil: The soil should be well-draining to prevent the bulbs from rotting. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or other organic matter.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. During the growing season, water regularly, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering.
Care: After the flowers have bloomed, allow the foliage to die back naturally. This helps the bulbs store energy for the next year's blooms. Avoid cutting the leaves off prematurely.
