Planting Instructions for Dormant Rhizomes:
The rhizomes should be planted in the autumn as soon as received. They are best planted where they can be left undisturbed. Plant with about 8cm of soil above the rhizome, so that the soil covering does not dry out during the Spring.
Plant the bulbs as soon as possible upon receipt.
These bulbs were grown in Britain from cultivated stock.
