A wonderful choice for attracting early pollinating insects while providing weeks of reliable spring colour.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant the bulbs in autumn (September–December) while the soil is cool and workable. This allows the bulbs to establish strong roots before flowering the following spring.

Where to Plant:
Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil. This mixture is perfect for borders, beds, containers, beneath deciduous trees and naturalised planting schemes.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant bulbs approximately 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) deep, depending on bulb size.
• Spacing: Space bulbs around 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) apart for a full display.
• Soil Prep: Improve heavy soils with compost and horticultural grit to ensure good drainage.

Watering:
Water well after planting to settle the soil. Once established, the bulbs generally require little additional watering except during prolonged dry periods.

Aftercare Tips:

• Remove faded flowers where appropriate, but allow all foliage to die back naturally before cutting it away.
• The leaves feed the bulbs, helping to produce flowers the following spring.
• An annual mulch of compost will help keep the soil healthy and encourage reliable flowering.

Top Tip:
For the most natural-looking display, scatter the bulbs across the planting area and plant each one where it lands. This creates beautiful flowing drifts of spring colour.
