Plant in partial shade with moderately moist, humusy, rich soil for best performance; ensure good drainage as bulbs will rot in flood prone and swampy areas. Plants require shelter from strong winds. These are heavy feeders and will reach flowering size the fastest with regular feeding. Side-dress with compost in early spring and throughout the growing season. Germination Requirements: Seeds are wet-packed. Use alternating 3m periods of cold/warm stratification to induce germination. Monitor carefully; germination usually begins during the 5th (cold) cycle. Even in ideal conditions germination can be slow and erratic, some seeds may not germinate until the second season. *'Wet seed' should be sown as soon as possible upon receipt to prevent loss of quality.
