Setup, Compatibility & Care
For outdoor success, plant the bulbs in a location that receives full sun to partial shade in soil that remains moist yet well-drained. Ensure the bulbs are planted at the recommended depth for the species. If you intend to force them for an indoor display, keep the pots in a cool environment, ensuring the ambient temperature does not exceed 10C (50F) before they flower. During the active growing season, provide a light feed, but take care to avoid excess fertiliser, as this can encourage excessive foliage growth at the expense of the blooms. Monitor soil moisture levels closely, especially in containers, to avoid both waterlogging and total desiccation.
