Planting instructions

Plant in fall in well-drained soil, choosing full sun to partial shade. Set corms approximately 4 inches deep, or follow the instructions supplied with your bulbs. Plant in clusters for a fuller display and water after planting to settle the soil.

After flowering

Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally so the corms can replenish their reserves. When planting in a lawn, delay mowing until the leaves have died back. Leave established clumps undisturbed where conditions suit them; they may naturalize over time.

Garden uses

Group beside paths, tuck into rock gardens, or create small spring drifts in borders. On a sunny morning, the open flowers bring a bright focal point close to the ground and offer a welcome early-season stop for visiting bees. This listing is for planting bulbs, not cut flowers or edible produce.
