- It thrives in full sun but can tolerate some light shade in warmer climates.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, with the “eye” (sprouting point) facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to ensure adequate growth and airflow.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Avoid overly wet conditions or areas with standing water.
- Sunlight: Full sun is ideal for optimal growth and maximum bloom production, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water deeply to promote strong root development.
- Aim to provide about 1 inch of water per week, ensuring the soil does not become waterlogged.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time and again when the plants reach about 6 inches in height to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly remove weeds around the base of the plants to reduce competition for nutrients.
- Mulch around the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and prevent weed growth.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids, slugs, and snails that may damage the plants. Use insecticidal soap or natural pest control methods.
- Diseases: Maintain good air circulation and avoid over-watering to prevent fungal diseases. Rotate crops annually to reduce disease risk.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers when fully open but still firm, cutting them early in the morning for the best vase life.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers carefully and store them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.
Storage
Short-Term: Store cut flowers in a vase with fresh water, changing the water every few days to keep them fresh longer.
Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry place (around 40°F or 4°C), and keep them in a dry medium like peat moss to prevent rot during winter.
