Planting and care

Plant the bulbs before 20 September and they will bloom in the same autumn! Plant your bulbs in a warm, south or west-facing position, 15cm (6in) deep and spaced 8cm (3in) apart. They prefer well-drained soil. If your garden soil is too heavy, incorporate some sand at planting time. The first cold spells will bring out their flowers. They will come back faithfully every year.
