- Full sun is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant the tubers 4–6 inches deep, with the "eye" facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for optimal growth and air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Full sun is best, but partial shade is acceptable in hotter climates.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry spells.
- Water at the base of the plant to prevent moisture from accumulating on the foliage.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when planting and again when the plants are about 6 inches tall.
- Continue fertilizing every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to ensure healthy blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep weeds under control to prevent competition for nutrients.
- Use mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch out for aphids, slugs, and other common pests. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
- Diseases: To prevent fungal diseases, avoid overhead watering and provide adequate spacing between plants for air circulation.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers when they are fully open but still firm to the touch for maximum freshness.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dry place for the winter.
Storage
Short-Term: Store cut flowers in a vase with water, changing the water every 2–3 days to extend their vase life. Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry location (around 40°F or 4°C), using a breathable container like a paper bag or box lined with dry peat moss or sawdust.
