Planting Guide

Plant: Late March-April.  10 cm deep.    Spacing 15 cm.  Flowers May-June.    Height 20-30 cm.

Fully Hardy, Perennial.  It is always best to start these bulbs in pots either in a greenhouse or a sheltered dry area in the garden. The rounded side of the bulb is the bottom, the roots come from the top. Use a John Innes No. 1 or 2 compost.   It is best not to water after planting until the bulb has rooted. Once in growth you can plant out.  A dappled shaded area of the garden is needed.  Provided you have well-drained soil these bulbs will reappear every year for years to come, mulch over in the winter to protect from frost.
Propagation: By removing offsets in spring or summer.
