🌱 Growing Tips
🕰️ Planting Time:
Spring to early summer (September to November) in most regions. In frost-free zones, stagger plantings every 2 weeks for continuous flowering.
📍 Position:
Full sun in a well-drained, open location. Excellent for borders, flower beds, and cutting gardens.
🌾 Soil:
Fertile, loamy soil enriched with compost or bonemeal. Ensure good drainage to avoid corm rot.
💧 Watering:
Keep soil evenly moist throughout growth and flowering, but avoid waterlogging.
🍽️ Feeding:
Apply a high-potassium fertiliser (3:1:5) once spikes appear. Light mulching helps conserve soil moisture.
✂️ Maintenance:
Remove spent spikes promptly to redirect energy to the corm. Let foliage die back naturally to strengthen corms for the following season.
🛏️ Overwintering:
In frost-prone or wet climates, lift corms after leaves have died back. Store in a cool, dry place until replanting.
