Growing Information

Light Requirements: Plant in full sun to partial shade for reliable flowering and healthy foliage.

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 3–4 inches deep and 2–3 inches apart.

Maintenance: Remove faded flower spikes as desired, but allow foliage to yellow naturally after flowering so the bulbs can replenish their energy.

Long-Term Care: Leave bulbs in the ground after flowering. They will often multiply and return each spring in suitable conditions.
