Planting guide

Plant corms in spring around 8–10cm deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Grow in full sun for the strongest flower colour and best performance.

Care tips

Water during dry spells while establishing and divide crowded clumps every few years in spring to maintain flowering performance.

Winter care

Leave foliage in place until it dies back naturally. Apply a mulch in colder regions to protect corms during harsh winters, particularly in poorly drained soils.
