- Full sun is ideal for this mix, although it can tolerate light shade in warmer climates.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep with the "eye" facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space tubers 18–24 inches apart to allow for healthy growth and proper air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Full sun is recommended, but partial shade can be tolerated in hotter climates.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, especially during dry spells, to ensure strong root development.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time and again when the plants are about 6 inches tall. Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around the plants free from weeds to prevent competition for nutrients.
- Use mulch to retain moisture in the soil and suppress weed growth.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for common garden pests such as aphids, slugs, and snails. Use natural pest control methods like neem oil or encourage beneficial insects like ladybugs.
- Diseases: Maintain good air circulation around plants to prevent fungal diseases and practice crop rotation to reduce disease buildup.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still firm, placing them immediately in water to extend their vase life.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, carefully dig up the tubers, allow them to dry, and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.
Storage
Short-Term: Freshly cut flowers can be stored in a vase with water for up to a week. Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry place, such as a basement or garage, until ready for replanting in the spring.
