Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the bulbs are planted in well-draining soil to prevent rot, especially during the wetter UK winter months. If you cannot plant them right away, store the bulbs in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location to prevent premature sprouting or mold growth.
- Planting Depth: Generally follow the rule of planting bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is tall.
- Spacing: Ensure adequate space between bulbs to prevent overcrowding and allow for healthy foliage development.
- Soil: Incorporate organic matter to enrich the soil for perennial success.
- Post-Bloom Care: Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to ensure the bulbs store enough energy for the following year.
