Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant bulbs in autumn (September–October) 8–10 cm deep in a sunny to part-shade spot in fertile, well-drained soil; a potted plant can also be planted in spring. Space plants 10–15 cm apart.
Watering Water moderately in spring while growing; after the leaves die back keep the soil rather dry in summer.
Pruning No pruning is needed; remove dry and damaged leaves in spring.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with compost or a slow-release fertiliser. Hardy; no extra cover is needed.
