Questions about this flower bulb.
Plant this flower bulb in Mar, Apr, May, once it no longer freezes.
Rule of thumb: plant a bulb two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. The exact depth and spacing for this variety are on the planting card attached to the bag and in the planting guide we send along.
Fully grown, this flower bulb reaches about 40 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.
Not by itself, because this variety is not hardy here. Lift it in autumn, store it frost-free and plant it again in spring.
We offer a 100% Bloom Guarantee. Send us a message and we will send you new bulbs, or refund you in full.
Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
