Gardener’s Tip

Plant bulbs between September and December, around 8 cm deep in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Early varieties like ‘Mando’ perform best in sheltered areas, helping protect blooms from harsh winter weather.

For the best effect, plant in clusters or drifts to create a fuller, more natural display. Wear gloves when handling bulbs, as they may cause skin irritation and can be harmful if ingested by pets. Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for strong blooms the following season.
