Pull off the old flower heads and developing seed pods, to conserve the bulbs energy.
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering, the leaves make energy for the bulb to produce a new flower next season
Plant out into the garden bulbs that have been used in pots to allow them to recover. Use fresh bulbs in your pots in the autumn
Not usually grown from seed, as a buld will take a few years to flower. It is easier to divide an established clump, or search for 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 in the autumn in groups of at least three. Plant 15 cm deep in grassy areas, under trees or hedges. Also useful in tubs and pots
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Yellow Cheerfulness is a hardy plant.Useful as a cut flower, pick as a developing bud and it will open in the vase
Expect harvests to start to occur in mid spring.
