Green Thumb Guide
Plant bulbs in enriched, well draining soil. Apply mulch around base to conserve moisture and protect from hot winds. Use a bulb fertilizer in the planting hole before adding the bulb and burying. Feed again late winter before new growth. Clear away old, dead foliage in winter for a tidy appearance. Divide bulb clusters every 5-8 years.
