Planting Instructions
Planting Season

- Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade in hotter climates.
Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, with the "eye" facing upward.
- Spacing: Space tubers 18–24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
- Sunlight: Full sun for best results, though partial shade is acceptable in warmer areas.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Deep watering once a week is ideal.
- Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when planting and again when the plants are 6 inches tall.
- Continue feeding every 4–6 weeks for optimal growth and abundant flowers.
Weeding and Mulching
- Remove weeds regularly to prevent competition for nutrients.
- Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Keep an eye out for aphids, slugs, and snails. Use organic pest control methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.
- Diseases: To avoid fungal diseases, ensure good air circulation and rotate crops annually.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers when fully open, but still firm. Place cut flowers in water immediately for the longest vase life.
- For Tubers: After the first frost, dig up the tubers, allow them to dry, and store them in a cool, dark place until the next growing season.
Storage
Short-Term: Store cut flowers in water-filled vases to enjoy their vibrant colors. Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry location, such as a basement or garage, during the winter months.
Culinary and Aesthetic Uses
