👩🌾 CARE
All spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall.
Plant the bulbs in September-October, in sunny, well-drained soil at a depth of 10 cm and preferably in groups, spaced 8 cm apart.
Once the blooming period is over, cut off the wilted flowers at the base, taking care to leave the stem. No pruning is required - simply allow them to die back after flowering in the spring. This allows the bulb to soak up all the nutrients from the sun. After flowering, water the plant 3 times with liquid fertilizer at one-month intervals. Leave the bulbs in place for several years or store in a cool, dry place for the following year.
