Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Roseus' corms in fall, approximately 3-4 inches deep and 2-3 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade locations and perform beautifully in lawns, under deciduous trees, in rock gardens, or along pathways. For a dramatic effect, plant in clusters of 10-15 bulbs or more. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's blooms. The flowering period typically spans from February to early March.
