Planting Season

From Late Autumn TO Late Autumn

Plant in late autumn in a partially shaded position. These plants are perfect for woodland planting. The soil should be fairly light and well drained.

 

Propagation by Offset Division

From Late Summer TO Early Autumn

After dead heading and when foliage has died, lift the bulbs. Remove the soil from the bulbs and remove any offsets that appear damaged or diseased. Separate the remaining bulbs and when they are dry, store in a dark well ventilated space. Bulbs can then be replanted in late Autumn.
