Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results with your 101-piece collection, follow these guidelines:
- Timing: Plant all bulbs during the autumn months before the first hard frost.
- Depth: Bury the bulbs approximately 10cm deep to protect them from temperature fluctuations and pests.
- Soil Conditions: Ensure the planting site features well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy clay, consider adding grit or organic matter to improve drainage.
- Sunlight: These bulbs perform best in positions offering full sun to partial shade.
- Maintenance: After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally; this stores energy in the bulb for the following year's growth.
