Planting and care instructions

For best results, plant this category at the recommended depth and grow it in a suitable location.

• Planting: Plant in spring after the risk of frost in loose, well-drained soil. Place them 5–8 cm deep and 5–10 cm apart.
• Light & location: Grow in full sun.
• Watering: Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid waterlogging.
• After flowering: Let the foliage die back naturally. In colder areas, lift and store the bulbs or corms dry and frost-free.
• Feeding & care: During active growth, feed every 2–3 weeks with a potassium-rich liquid fertilizer, especially in containers.
• Useful tip: In cold regions, grow in containers or lift and store less-hardy bulbs or corms dry and frost-free.
