Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct light daily, to ensure strong stems and the most vibrant flower color. While they can tolerate very light shade, too much darkness will cause the stems to stretch and lean.
  • Soil: These bulbs demand well-drained soil and will rot quickly if left in wet, heavy ground. If you are working with heavy clay, amend the site generously with compost or plant in raised beds to ensure water drains away freely.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy during the active growing season, aiming for about an inch of water per week. Inconsistent moisture often leads to bud drop or shorter bloom times, so check the soil frequently during hot spells. Avoid overhead watering to keep the foliage dry and minimize fungal issues.

Pruning Tips

Remove spent flower heads just below the bloom immediately after they fade to stop the plant from wasting energy on seed production. Do not cut back the green foliage or stalks until they turn yellow and die back naturally in late fall. The leaves act as solar panels during this time, recharging the bulb to ensure a good display next year.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a slow-release, balanced granular fertilizer or specific bulb food in early spring when the new shoots first emerge. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, especially late in the season, as they promote lush leafy growth at the expense of flowers and can make the bulb soft and prone to rot.
