Setup, Compatibility & Care

Soil Preparation: Choose a well-drained location. Amend heavy clay soil with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage.
Planting: Plant bulbs in autumn. Dig holes at a depth roughly three times the bulb's height. Space bulbs according to the variety's spread (refer to the product information for specific spacing).
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Avoid overwatering, especially in poorly drained soil.
Sunlight: Plant in full sun or partial shade.
Containers: When using containers, use a loam-based compost like John Innes No. 2.
After Flowering: Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering. Do not cut the leaves, as they provide nutrients for the next year's blooms. Once the foliage has died back, you can trim the leaves.
