- Plant between September-November, before the ground freezes. Â
- Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil. Â
- If the soil is heavy clay, loosen it to a depth of around 10cm and mix in organic matter to improve drainage and soil quality. Â
- Add a handful of grit or coarse sand to the planting hole to aid drainage, especially in containers or heavy soil. Â
- Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards. Â
- Space the bulbs around 5-10cm apart. Â
- Gently cover the bulb and lightly compress the soil. Â
- If the soil is very dry, water lightly after planting. Â
- Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering. Â
- Leave the bulbs undisturbed to naturalise and multiply over time. Â
