Planting advice
Plant the bulbs in groups of at least 3 bulbs, about 12 cm apart. The bulbs should be planted about three times as deep as their height. Mix some bone meal into the soil for the best start. As soon as the bulbs emerge in spring, spray with TRICO Garden to protect against deer. Pinch off over-bloomed flowers but let the leaves wither so the bulbs can gather strength for next year.
