💧 Watering

Water after planting if the soil is dry. During active growth, water as needed without leaving the soil soggy. Reduce watering as the foliage yellows, keeping dormant bulbs relatively dry during summer.

☀️ Light & Position

Choose a sunny spot with some shelter from strong winds. Avoid areas where rainwater collects, as the bulbs need good drainage.

🌿 Feeding

For bulbs grown in pots, apply a potassium-rich liquid fertilizer while the leaves are actively growing, following the product instructions. Stop feeding when the foliage begins to die back.

🍃 After Flowering

Remove faded flower heads, or leave them for decoration. Allow the leaves to yellow and dry naturally before cutting them back.

Bulbs can remain planted where the soil drains freely and stays relatively dry during summer.

🇲🇹 Local Growing Tips

In Malta, wait until autumn temperatures have eased before planting. Use pots or raised beds if your soil stays wet after winter rain, and avoid regular summer watering around dormant bulbs.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Toxic to cats and dogs if eaten. Keep bulbs and plants away from pets that chew plants or dig in the soil.
