#ProPlantTips for Care:
These flowering perennial bulbs need a sunny site in your landscape that is well-drained to avoid root rot. Provide moderate moisture and some bulb fertilizer at the time of planting in the fall. Plant pointed end up about 2-3 inches deep. Any organic soil with moderate moisture works great, both indoors and out! Trim the foliage back after it yellows in the late summer or fall after frost.
For forcing and in order to bloom in the spring, these fall-planted bulbs need at least 6-8 weeks of Chill Hours. This chill time stimulates them to bloom, so if you are in a warm winter climate or growing them for winter color, give them a cool location to rest before planting.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Clean Foliage After It Yellows
- Deer Resistant Perennial Corms
