Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting: Choose a sheltered spot and plant the bulbs in full sun or partial shade. Ensure the soil is moist but well-draining.
Depth and Spacing: Dig a hole around 6-8cm deep and place the bulbs with the claws facing downwards. Allow around 8cm between bulbs.
Watering: Backfill the hole with soil and firm down gently before watering well.
Winter Protection (for potted corms): If growing in pots, they may need to be moved indoors or given additional winter protection to prevent frost damage.
Deadheading: Deadhead spent blooms to promote further flowering. Leave the foliage in place to die back naturally, providing nutrition for healthy new growth.
