Planting Instructions

• Plant in fall for May–June blooms.

• Plant bulbs 4–5" deep and 2–3" apart, pointed end up.
• Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.
• In warmer climates, foliage emerges in fall; flowers follow in spring. In colder regions, both emerge after winter ends.

After Bloom Care

• Cut flowers freely for elegant spring arrangements — the violet-pink-bronze combination is stunning in bouquets.
• Leave foliage in place after blooming to fuel bulbs for next season.
• Water about 1" per week during active growth.
• Allow leaves to yellow and die back naturally in summer, then remove spent foliage.
