🌱 Growing Tips

🕰️ Planting Time:
Spring to early summer, after the last frost. Plant corms 5–8 cm deep for best results.

📍 Position:
Full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Ideal for borders, raised beds, and containers.

🌾 Soil:
Rich, fertile, and well-draining soil enriched with compost. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent corm rot.

💧 Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist during active growth and flowering. Reduce watering after flowering as foliage dies back.

🍽️ Feeding:
Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

✂️ Maintenance:
Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Allow foliage to naturally die back before lifting corms in cooler regions.

🛏️ Overwintering:
In colder climates, lift corms after foliage dies back and store in a cool, dry, frost-free place until the next planting.
