Instructions
Top Tip
Cover the area with horticultural grit or broken eggshells after planting to stop snails and slugs devouring young plants.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting. After this, bulbs planted in the ground should only need to be watered during dry spells. Bulbs grown in pots and containers will need watering more regularly to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
Choose a spot with moist but well-draining soil in full sun or partial shade. Use a bulb planter or trowel to dig holes and place one bulb in each hole. Ensure the pointed end of the bulb faces upwards then backfill, firm down and water in well.
