Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, plant the bulbs in autumn or winter when the soil is cool. Dig a hole to a depth three to four times the size of the individual bulb. Space them approximately 10 cm apart to allow for proper root development and future spread. Ensure the soil is fertile and well-draining; if you are using pots, add a layer of horticultural grit to the bottom to assist with drainage. If you cannot plant the bulbs immediately upon arrival, store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Once the flowering period has finished, allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulb for the following year.
