Planting and care

Plant from September to January in a sunny or lightly shaded position with free-draining soil. Set the bulb with its neck above the soil and allow about 10 cm between bulbs. Water after planting, then allow roughly 10 days for roots to settle before resuming regular watering. In garden beds, water deeply every three to four days during active growth, adjusting for rain and soil moisture; in containers, water until excess drains and empty the saucer after about 30 minutes. Feed during active growth. Continue watering into April, then reduce and stop as foliage yellows and winter dormancy begins. Bulbs may remain in well-drained ground or be lifted after the foliage has died back and stored cool and dry.
