Growing Information

Watering: Water after planting and during active growth as needed. Avoid waterlogged soil, which can cause bulbs to rot.

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, pointed end up, approximately 6 inches deep and 4 inches apart.

Maintenance: Remove faded flowers after blooming and allow foliage to yellow naturally so the bulbs can replenish their energy.

Long-Term Care: Provide good drainage and shelter plants from strong winds that may damage the full blooms. Flowering may become less reliable in subsequent years.
