Planting & Care Guide

• Location: Choose well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Ideal for borders or containers.
• Spacing: Space bulbs about 10-15cm apart at a depth of roughly twice the bulb’s height.
• Watering: Water well after planting and keep soil moist but not waterlogged during growth.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser monthly during the growing season for best results.
• Aftercare: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering. Lift tender bulbs like dahlias after the first frost for winter storage if needed.
