Care
- Planting: The best time to plant the bulbs is in the autumn, from September to November. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. If needed, add compost or organic material to enrich the soil.
- Planting depth: About 10-15 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart.
- Watering: Water regularly during growing, but avoid excess water to prevent rot.
- Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers by cutting the stem just above the next set of healthy leaves. This will keep the plant looking tidy and encourage more blooms.
- Foliage: Allow the foliage to die back completely to return nutrients to the bulb.
- Protection: Place close to other plants to shield from strong winds.
- Mulching: In cold climates, a light mulch layer can help protect the bulbs from extreme cold.
