Planting Guide
  • Choose the right location

    Choose a site with partial shade to full sun in warmer climates, with rich, consistently moist soil. Plant bulbs 2-3 inches deep and space them about 3-5 feet apart. Water frequently to maintain moist soil, especially during dry periods. Feed monthly with a high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote lush foliage. In colder regions, dig up the bulbs before the first frost and store in a cool, dry place.
  • Prepare an appropriate hole

    Choose a pot that is 1-2 times larger than the current pot, ensuring there is adequent drainage to prevent waterlogging roots. Plan on repotting every 3-5 years.
  • Use fertile soil

    Choose soil rich in nutrients and with good drainage to support root growth.
  • Plant at the correct depth

    Plant at the same depth as in the pot, keeping the top of the root ball level with the soil.
  • Care and watering

    Water the plant appropriately, keeping the soil moist but not too wet.
