Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn (September to November) for spring flowering, or in early spring for summer blooms.

Soak First:
Before planting, soak the corms in lukewarm water for 6–8 hours to help rehydrate them and encourage faster growth.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Ideal for borders, containers, or cutting gardens.

How to Plant:

• Depth: 5 cm (2 inches)
• Spacing: 10–15 cm apart
• Position: Plant the corms with the pointed end down (if unclear, plant on their side – they’ll sort themselves out).

Aftercare:
Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist during active growth. Mulch lightly in colder areas to protect from severe frost. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms.

Flowering Time:
March–May (if autumn planted), or June–August (if spring planted).
