FAQs

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

Plant the bulbs at a depth of approximately 10cm.

When can I cut back the foliage?

Wait until the foliage has completely died back naturally, typically in June or July.

Can I plant these in my lawn?

Yes, they are excellent for naturalizing in grass, provided you do not mow the area until the foliage has turned yellow.

What kind of soil do they prefer?

They thrive in any moist but well-drained soil.

Are these suitable for indoor containers?

Yes, their compact 15cm height makes them ideal for pots and patio containers.

Are the flowers fragrant?

Yes, this variety produces a light, pleasant floral fragrance.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs fail to flower in the second year

This is often caused by removing the foliage too early after the first year. Ensure leaves are allowed to die back naturally.

Poor growth in containers

Ensure the container has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil, which can cause the bulbs to rot.

  • Subtle fragrance adds sensory appeal

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.
