Pull off old flower heads after flowering and take off the developing seed head to conserve the bulbs energy. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering, as the leaves make energy for the bulb to flower next season
If bulbs have been used in post, consider planting in the garden after flowering, to allow them to recover. Use fresh bulbs in your pots next autumn
Not usually grown from seed as bulbs always take a number of years to flower. It is easier to divide an established clump, or pick off bulb offsets 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 5.85 inches (15.0 cm).Plant out the bulbs in the autumn in groups of at least three bulbs
Plant about 15 cm deep in grassy areas or along paths or under trees or hedges. Also good in pots and tubs if planted deeply.
Useful as a cut flower. Pick as a bud that will open in the vase
This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid spring.
