Growing Instructions
• Plant between September-November, before the ground freezes.
• Loosen the soil to a depth of around 20cm and mix in organic matter to improve the drainage and soil quality.
• Use a hand trowel or bulb planter and dig a hole which is around 2-3 times the depth of the bulb.
• Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards.
• Gently cover the bulb and lightly compress the soil.
(If not planted immediately, open bag and spread somewhere cool and dry to prevent the bulbs sweating and rotting)
