Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Plant your bulbs as soon as they arrive into a 9cm (3½in) pot filled with a mixture of 50% multi-purpose compost and 50% loam-based potting compost. When planting, make sure that the roots are spread out and only the bottom half of the bulb is below the compost level – the top half of the bulb must remain above it. Wait until the roots fill the pot before planting out into the garden, at the same level. |
Care Tips | Mulch in winter. Be patient if flowering is poor in the first year. Do not disturb once planted. |
Flowering | September - November |
Storing | Best left in the ground undisturbed, for best flowering. |
