You can plant these bulbs anytime between February and December, provided the ground is not waterlogged or frozen.
These are fully hardy, so they can be left in the ground to naturalize, provided the soil remains well-draining.
Yes, they are excellent for containers. Plant them closer together than you would in the ground for a denser look.
Water once a week during the active growing season. During dormancy, keep the soil on the drier side to prevent rot.
Yes, soaking for 12-24 hours helps rehydrate the dried tubers and encourages faster, more consistent germination.
The soil likely lacks sufficient drainage. Ensure the planting site is amended with grit or sand, or move to a pot with proper drainage holes.
Check that the bulbs were soaked prior to planting and that they were not planted too deep (maximum 5 cm).
Ensure bulbs are stored in a secure, sealed but ventilated container away from floor level in a shed or garage.
Before planting, soak your bulbs in water for 12-24 hours to rehydrate them. Plant them at a depth of 3-5 cm in fertile, well-draining soil, ensuring each is spaced 5-10 cm apart. Select a site that offers full sun to partial shade. If you are not planting immediately, store the bulbs in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location like a shed or cupboard; keep them in an open paper bag to maintain airflow, ensuring the area is secure against rodents. Once planted, provide water once a week during the growing season, but take care to keep the soil dry during the plant's dormant phase to prevent rot.
