Planting and care

We provide plants with tuberous or tuberculate roots that go dormant in winter. For best growth, they prefer a cool and humid climate, partial shade, and moist soil rich in humus. While they can tolerate well-drained clay soils in winter, they prefer moisture in spring and summer but not in winter. To protect them from the cold and provide the humus they need, it is advisable to leave dead leaves (20cm (8in)) on the base. These plants can grow well in cooler climates that are conducive to their development and can be combined with ferns, Epimedium, Begonia grandis, rhododendrons, azaleas, Meconopsis, lilies, etc. We dispatch them only from February to May.
