Plant Care

Water regularly during the growing season, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Mulch in winter to protect bulbs in colder regions. Monitor for aphids and other pests, treating as needed with appropriate insecticides.

Planting Instructions

Plant bulbs in spring or fall, placing them 4-6 inches deep and 6-8 inches apart. Choose a location with good drainage and adequate air circulation. Ensure the soil is loose and enriched with organic matter. Plant with the pointed end facing upward and water thoroughly after planting. Add support stakes early in the growing season to prevent stem damage from wind and heavy blooms.
