Planting & Care

Plant corms in tight clusters pointed tip up in well-drained soil. To protect from rodents, lay chicken wire over the planting area before covering with soil. If growing in lawn, avoid mowing until foliage has fully died back in late spring to allow the corm to store energy for next year's blooms.
