Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant 'Cornish Pencrebar' bulbs in well-drained, moist soil in a location that receives full sun or semi-shade. Dig a planting hole to a depth of 10cm and space the bulbs approximately 10cm apart. If you are planting in groups, aim for natural-looking, irregular drifts rather than straight lines to enhance the visual effect. After the flowers have faded in spring, leave the green foliage intact. It is essential to allow the leaves to die back naturally—usually by June or July—as this process provides the necessary nutrients for the bulb to produce flowers the following year. If you have naturalized these in grass, ensure that lawnmowers do not cut the foliage until it has turned yellow and withered completely.
