    Planting & Care

    • Flowering Time: dormant in warmer months and bloom during autumn & winter providing a spectacular display during these seasons.
    • Planting Specifications: Plant with a spacing of 10 – 20cm; the neck of the bulb should be just above the soil.
    • Position: Requires full sun to achieve optimal flowering.
    • Soil Requirements: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil conditions.
    • Watering Needs: Minimal; watering should only supplement natural rainfall, with a preference for dry conditions in spring and summer.
    • Fertilizing: Enrich soil with well-rotted animal manure before planting to promote healthy growth.
    • Pruning: Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Transplanting should be done in early spring, although bulbs prefer to remain crowded.

    Unique Points

    • Resilience: Frost tolerant and performs better when bulbs are crowded.
    • Floral Longevity: Cut flowers from these bulbs can last up to 3 weeks in water, making them excellent for cut flower arrangements.
    • Ideal Uses: Perfect as container plants or for creating stunning, long-lasting cut flower displays in your home.

    Gardening Tips

    • Naturalizing: For best results, allow bulbs to naturalize in the ground. If left undisturbed, they will yield an increasing number of blooms each year.
    • Preferences: Enjoys dry, hot summers and does not thrive in tropical conditions or when frequently disturbed.
