Naturalizing & Care

Plant in relaxed drifts in borders or lawn areas for a natural, airy effect. Avoid mowing naturalized areas until June or July. In containers, space bulbs one bulb-width apart. Deadhead spent blooms to prevent energy loss to seed formation, and always allow foliage to die back naturally to fuel next season's display.
