Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, plant your bulbs in the autumn in a location that receives full sun or partial shade. Ensure the soil is fertile and well-drained to prevent rot during the winter months. Plant the bulbs at a depth roughly two to three times their own height. Once planted, they are largely undemanding. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally—do not cut the leaves down until they have turned yellow, as this allows the bulb to store energy for the following year. If you are naturalizing them in grass, avoid mowing the area until the foliage has completely withered to ensure a strong bloom in subsequent seasons.
