Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout

Ensure the bulbs were planted at the correct depth of 3-4 times their height and that the soil is not overly saturated or waterlogged.

Flowers appear stunted

Check that the plants are receiving adequate sunlight (full sun or partial shade) and that the soil is fertile enough to support vigorous growth.

Rodents damaging stored bulbs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, plant your bulbs during Autumn or Winter. Dig a hole to a depth equal to three or four times the size of the bulb to protect it from extreme temperature fluctuations. Choose a site that receives full sun or partial shade and ensure the soil is fertile. If you are planting in containers, use a gritty, free-draining potting mix. If you cannot plant the bulbs immediately upon receipt, store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location that is inaccessible to rodents. During the growing season, ensure the soil remains moist but never waterlogged.
