Why You’ll Love It
Orange Ton is a brilliant choice for gardeners wanting strong colour early in the season. Its bright orange flowers stand out beautifully against green foliage and mix well with yellows, reds, whites and deeper-toned lilies.
The sturdy stems make it useful for picking, while the compact garden height suits both beds and containers. Plant in groups for the strongest visual impact.
Growing Tips
Plant bulbs in well-drained soil with the pointed end facing up. Choose a sunny to partly shaded position and water in after planting. Keep the soil lightly moist while actively growing, but avoid waterlogging.
For best results, mulch lightly, protect new shoots from snails and slugs, and allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season.
