Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, soak your bulbs in water overnight before planting to rehydrate them. Plant in a location that receives full sun with light, sandy, well-drained soil at a depth of 5cm (2 inches). If your soil is heavy clay, mix in horticultural grit to improve drainage. Keep the soil consistently moist while the plants establish but avoid overwatering. Once flowering concludes, it is vital to let the foliage die back naturally; this process allows the bulb to store the energy required to bloom again the following year. Remove the foliage only after it has turned yellow or brown.
