Planting and Growing Information
Plant these premium-quality corms in fall, approximately 3 inches deep and 2-3 inches apart. They thrive in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun to partial shade locations. Flowering occurs in late winter to early spring, often while snow still covers the ground. The grass-like foliage emerges with or shortly after the blooms and should be allowed to die back naturally to ensure strong returns in subsequent years.
