Care Guide

Cultivation

Corms should be planted in moderately fertile, humus rich soil approximately 10cm deep and 7.5–10cm apart in groups to form clumps. Water if it is a dry season as a lack of water reduces flowering. May be a nuisance in some gardens if not managed well.

Pruning

No pruning required, except the removal of dead leaves and flower stems before new growth starts in spring.

Propagation

Propagate by division in early spring when clumps become congested. As this plant is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights, any propagation should be for personal rather than commercial use

Pests

May be susceptible to glasshouse red spider mite
