Planting Guide
Plant: April. 8 cm deep. Spacing 45 cm. Flowers June-September. Height 40-60 cm.
Frost tender. Perennial. Full sun is essential, as is moist humus-rich soil. For best results start in pots that are no less than 4 lts. in size. Do not water-in after planting. Once the bulb has rooted water and feed generously using a slow release fertilizer. If growing in the ground remove from pots once the foliage has appeared, find a sunny location that has good drainage. Cover over with a good blanket of compost during the winter months.
