Growing Instructions

Plant between September-November, before the ground freezes.

Choose a location ideal for naturalising such as lawns, woodlands, or borders with well-drained soil.

Use a hand trowel or bulb planter and dig a hole which is around 2-3 times the depth of the bulb.

Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards.

Alternatively, for a more naturalised effect, you can throw a handful of bulbs into a larger dug-up area instead of planting each bulb individually.

Gently cover the bulb and lightly compress the soil.

Avoid disturbing the area after planting to allow the bulbs to multiply and naturalise over time.

Tips

Choose a location that receives full sun, ideally at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

If the drainage is bad, add grit to the soil.

After flowering, deadhead spent blooms to redirect energy back into the bulb.

Allow foliage to die back naturally before removing it to help replenish nutrients for next years growth.

The clumps will multiply and expand each year.
