Know before you buy
You can expect your bulb to bloom approximately 8 to 10 weeks after potting, provided it is kept in a warm environment with bright, indirect light.
Yes, the 'Akiko' bulb can be successfully grown in a container with stones and water. Ensure the base of the bulb sits just above the water line to prevent rot while allowing the roots to reach the moisture.
For a single bulb, use a pot that is 6 to 7 inches in diameter. If you are planting a group of three bulbs together, select a larger container between 10 and 12 inches wide.
Yes, these bulbs can be kept and forced to rebloom annually. After the flowers fade, continue to provide light and water to the foliage, then follow a dormancy period process to encourage new growth the following winter.
While these are primarily enjoyed as indoor winter plants, they can be planted outdoors in warmer climates, specifically hardiness zones 8 through 10.
Each premium-grade bulb is guaranteed to produce at least two flower stems. Each of those stems will typically yield four individual blossoms.
