A suitable candidate for naturalizing since its blooms are medium in size helping it blend in woodland gardens. A reliable performer. |
Cultivation |
In autumn, plant bulbs 10-15 cm deep and 7.5- 15 cm apart. The flowers face a southerly direction towards the sun, so you want to plant them where they will be seen with their flower faces towards the viewer.Well drained, good garden soil in full sun to partial shade. Dead heading after bloom will encourage strong plants. Divide clumps and re-plant every 5- 10 yearsAbout every five years or as the number of blooms decrease lift clumps with a fork after the foliage has withered. Pull the bulbs apart and detach any offsets, replant bulbs three times their own depth and depending on plant size 3-10 cm apart. |
