How you will receive your bulbs:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your bulbs in a breathable mesh bag. This is to keep the bulbs together in a pack that is nice and airy – perfect to keep the bulbs healthy while in transit.

Can’t plant straight away?

Keep your bulbs in a cool, light, and dry place and preferably hanging on a hook so that air can get to the bulbs at all angles. Ideally, you should aim to plant your bulbs within a week of receiving them, but if this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them.

Planting tips and hints:

Planting in the ground: Plant outdoors in late spring once all risk of frost is past, in a moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Plant the bulbs shallowly, spaced 10-15 (4-6in) cm apart with the tops of the bulbs exposed above the ground. Water after planting.

Planting in containers:

Plant the bulbs in pots indoors in March or April. Fill pots with a loam-based compost like John Innes No. 2. Space corms 20cm (8in) apart, with the tops of the bulbs exposed. Water regularly and keep indoor pots in a cool, bright, frost-free place and move outdoors after all risk of frost is past.

Feeding and aftercare:.

Water regularly during the growing season and feed fortnightly with a dilute balanced liquid feed.

Stop watering once the leaves start to fade. Once the foliage has faded in autumn, lift the corms, and store in a cool, dry, frost-free place indoors in trays filled with sand, or move container-grown plants into a frost-free place over winter.
