Best Growing Conditions Plant these corms during the Spring in particular during February and June in fertile, well draining soil in full sun but can cope with partial shade. Can also be first planted in a greenhouse. These corms should be planted about 10-15cm deep and 10-15cm apart, with the slightly pointed end upwards and roots downwards. After planting, water well and keep bulbs moist, but avoid water logging the soil. They may need staking or netting to prevent them from blowing over. Inserting canes while planting helps avoid damaging the corms.
