Your care routine
Watering
Keep moderately moist while leaves are growing, with free drainage; reduce watering as foliage yellows and the bulb or corm becomes dormant.
Soil & drainage
Well-drained potting mix for containers; fertile, freely draining soil in garden beds.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced bulb fertilizer once as spring growth starts, at the label rate; do not feed a dormant bulb or corm.
Temperature
Adapted to cool-season outdoor growth and a dormant summer period; container roots need extra protection during severe freezes.
Humidity
Outdoor humidity is suitable; allow airflow and avoid prolonged wet foliage.
Through the seasons
In Metro Vancouver, protect from frost and prolonged winter rain; seasonal display does not imply winter hardiness. Confirm cultivar hardiness before leaving outdoors. Plant in autumn; let foliage yellow naturally after flowering.
When your plant needs help
- Bulb rot in poor drainage
- slugs may damage growth
