• Plant bulbs 3–4" deep and 3–4" apart.
• Key tip: Soil must stay relatively dry in summer for bulbs to set buds for next year. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Bulbs may separate into offsets after bloom — divide only if flowering has noticeably declined.

After Bloom Care

• Allow foliage to die back naturally through late spring before removing.
• For guaranteed repeat flowering, supplement with fresh bulbs each fall.
• Alternatively, treat as an annual and plant new bulbs each autumn for consistently spectacular results.
