Planting & Care

Plant in well-draining soil in fall, with the pointed end up. Water well after planting; roots develop through autumn and flowers emerge early spring. Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and spring. Allow foliage to yellow and die back naturally after blooming before removing. Excellent for forcing indoors.
