Planting & Care

Select a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball and slightly shallower than the root depth, positioning the plant so buds sit just 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture through the first growing season. Prune stems to ground level in late fall after foliage dies back, and remove dead or damaged growth each spring. Use a balanced bulb fertilizer after flowering or amend soil with compost annually; avoid high-nitrogen products that promote foliage at the expense of flowers.
