Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal growth, plant these bulbs during late summer or autumn in well-drained soil. Dig holes to a depth of 15cm and space the bulbs 13cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development. Ensure the bulbs receive a natural winter chill, which is essential to initiate the spring flowering cycle. After the blooms have finished, deadhead the flowers to keep the garden tidy, but be sure to leave the foliage intact until it dies back naturally. This process is crucial as it allows the plant to photosynthesize and store energy in the bulb for next year's growth. Always wear gloves during planting to avoid skin irritation from the bulbs.
