#ProPlantTips for Care:
These perennial bulbs and Iris rhizomes should be planted in the fall, and need full sun to flower their best and have the strongest stems. Any rich well-drained soil with moderate moisture access works for these plants!
Easy to grow and low-maintenance, all your flowers need from you is water during extreme conditions and some deadheading after the flowers fade. Leave the foliage to make food for the bulbs but once the leaves die back or turn yellow, you can then prune them back close to the ground.
Growers in zones 5 and lower can use these fast-growing perennial bulbs as annual accents and treat them as they would Dahlia or Canna Lilies, lifting the bulbs in the autumn and storing them in an area above freezing for the winter.
- Full Sun Perennial Bulb Plants
- Fast Growing in Fertile Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Mulched Beds & Regular Moisture
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Foliage When It Yellows
- Deer & Rabbit Seldom Bother These
