Growing Tips:

1. Planting Time: Plant bulbs in autumn before the first frost, allowing them to establish roots before winter.
2. Soil Preparation: Choose well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.
3. Depth and Spacing: Plant bulbs 10-15 cm deep and space them 15-20 cm apart for optimal growth and visual impact.
4. Sunlight: Select a location with full sun to partial shade, providing at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
5. Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged.
6. After Bloom Care: Allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish bulbs for the following year's blooms. Consider leaving the seed heads for added interest and wildlife support.
