Flowering
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Flowers appear in mid to late Summer, and are sometimes followed by berries
Planting
From Mid Summer TO Mid Summer
Plant the bulbs when they are dormant in light, free-draining soil in full or partial sun, and in a sheltered site, or under glass. Plant the bulbs with the neck of the bulb just above the surface of the soil. Water well to establish
Propagating by offsets
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Offsets are the baby plants that form at the base of some plants, and they are an easy way to propagate a plant. When the offsets have grown large enough to handle - and, hopefully, have some roots of their own,- gently break them away from the mother plant. Plant the offsets in a container and keep the plant barely moist (but not wet) until the plant is establishes, and can be planted out.
