Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure healthy growth, plant the bulbs in a well-draining soil during the autumn months in a location that receives ample sunlight. Ensure the planting depth is sufficient for the bulb size, typically following the rule of burying the bulb at twice its own depth.
Care during the season is minimal, but crucial: after the flowers have finished blooming in late spring, do not trim the foliage immediately. You must allow the stems and leaves to die back naturally, which usually occurs by June or July. This process allows the bulb to store energy for the following year. Always wear gloves when planting or pruning to prevent potential skin irritation, and keep the bulbs out of reach of pets and children to avoid ingestion.
