Know before you buy
Yes, these corms are well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 2-inch planting depth and the 18-24 inch mature height of the plants.
In zones 8-10, fall planting allows the corms to establish roots during the cooler months, often resulting in larger, earlier blooms. Spring planting is a great alternative if you live in a region where the ground freezes, as it allows you to enjoy the flowers once the soil warms up.
No, the Tecolote variety is specifically bred for strong, sturdy stems that hold the heavy, lush blooms upright without the need for additional support.
With a recommended spacing of 4-6 inches, you can comfortably fit 4 to 9 corms per square foot. Planting closer to the 4-inch mark will provide a more concentrated, 'flower field' effect.
Absolutely. Their long, strong stems and high petal count make them one of the best varieties for cut flower arrangements, where they typically have a long vase life.
If you are outside of zones 8-10, you can still enjoy these flowers by treating them as annuals or by planting them in containers that can be moved to a protected, frost-free location during the coldest months.
