Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb for next years flowers. Pinch off old flower heads and developing seed head to conserve the bulbs energy
Divide established clumps, or if the bulbs come up ‘blind’ (without flower buds) after the foliage begins to die back after flowering
Martinette is not usually grown from seed. The easiest way to grow more is to divide established clumps as the foliage dies back after flowering.
Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 7.8 inches (20.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than -5°C / 23°F to ensure good germination.Plant bulbs in groups of at least 3, under grass, trees or hedges. or use in pots or containers
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Martinette is a hardy plant.Martinette can be used as a cut flower, pick as the buds that will open in the vase
