Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure healthy growth, plant the bulbs in the autumn months when the ground is still workable but cooling down. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade for optimal blooming. Ensure the soil is well-draining, as bulbs left in standing water during winter are prone to rot. If planting in pots, use a high-quality bulb compost and ensure the container has adequate drainage holes. After the flowering period ends in late March, allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally; this process returns vital nutrients to the bulb for the following year's performance. Avoid mowing the area or removing the leaves until they have completely withered.
