Plant Details

• Color: Rich, pure golden yellow
• Height: 18"–22" (45–56 cm)
• Flowering Period: Late spring
• Exposure: Full sun
• Best Use: Borders, cut flowers, containers, naturalizing

Planting Instructions

• Plant in fall for late spring blooms.
• Choose a full sun site with well-draining soil. Amend with compost, peat moss, or ground bark if needed to improve drainage.
• Plant bulbs 4" deep and 3" apart, pointed end up.
• Water well after planting to settle the soil around each bulb.
• In warmer climates, foliage emerges in fall and flowers develop in spring. In colder regions, both emerge after winter ends.

After Bloom Care

• Cut flowers freely for bright, cheerful spring bouquets.
• Leave foliage in place after blooming — it photosynthesizes energy to strengthen bulbs for next season.
• Water about 1" per week during active growth.
• Allow leaves to yellow and die back naturally in summer, then tidy up spent foliage.
• Bulbs naturalize and multiply, giving you more blooms each year with no extra effort.

Container Growing

Plant in large containers with quality, well-draining potting mix and adequate drainage holes. Space 2–3" apart at 4" depth. Pair with darker iris varieties or cool-toned spring annuals to let the golden color really pop.
