- Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for best results.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, ensuring the "eye" or sprouting point is facing upwards.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.

- Sunlight: Full sun is essential, with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal blooming.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water deeply to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Provide about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) when planting and again when the plants are about 6 inches tall to support healthy growth and prolific blooming.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the soil free from weeds to reduce competition for water and nutrients.
- Apply mulch to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weed growth around the base of the plants.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Monitor for aphids, spider mites, and slugs. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat infestations.
- Diseases: Prevent fungal infections by ensuring proper spacing and avoiding overhead watering. Rotate crops annually and remove any diseased foliage promptly.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still firm, cutting them with a sharp knife and placing them in water immediately to preserve their freshness.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers, clean off the soil, and store them in a cool, dry place for winter storage.
Storage
Short-Term: Keep cut flowers in a vase with fresh water, changing the water regularly to keep them fresh.
Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry place (around 40°F/4°C) for winter storage. Use peat moss or sawdust to prevent tubers from drying out.
