Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Lutea Maxima' bulbs in fall, positioning them 6-8 inches deep and 10-12 inches apart in well-drained soil. For optimal results in heavier soils, plant bulbs slightly on their side and incorporate sand to improve drainage. These impressive perennials thrive in full sun to partial shade locations and bloom in mid to late spring, providing approximately 2-3 weeks of spectacular flowering. Maintain moderate moisture during growth, reducing water once dormant.
