Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, plant these bulbs in autumn, ideally before the ground freezes. Select a location that receives full sun or partial shade. Ensure the soil is loose and well-drained, as bulbs may rot in heavy, waterlogged clay. Plant at a depth approximately two to three times the height of the bulb, pointing the shoot end upward. During the active growing season, keep the soil moderately moist. After the flowers fade, allow the foliage to die back naturally; this process is critical as the leaves store energy in the bulb for the following year's growth. Once the foliage has turned yellow and withered, it can be trimmed back.
