Planting Guide

• When to Plant: Early spring after frost danger has passed, or in fall in mild climates.
• Where to Plant: Choose a sunny to partially shaded area with 6–8 hours of light and well-drained soil.
• Soil Prep: Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
• How Deep: Plant bulbs 4–6 inches deep and space 6–9 inches apart.
• How to Plant: Place bulbs with the pointed side up and roots down, then cover with soil and water well.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water at the base to keep foliage dry.
• Mulching: Apply a 2-inch mulch layer to hold moisture and reduce weeds.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer in spring when growth starts, and again after blooms fade to strengthen bulbs for next year.
• Support: Taller stems may need staking to prevent bending.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers promptly, but allow foliage to yellow naturally before cutting back in fall.

Growing in Containers

• Select a deep container with drainage holes.
• Follow the same planting depth and spacing as in the ground, leaving at least 4 inches of soil beneath the bulbs.
• Place containers in a sunny location and water consistently.
