Planting & Care

Plant in well-draining soil with the pointed tip facing up. Water thoroughly once after planting — roots establish through autumn and bold blooms arrive in late spring. Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulb. For coordinated Princess series plantings, mix with Orange Princess and Pretty Princess for a stunning multi-tone display.
