Know before you buy
To enjoy flowers all season, stagger your planting by putting a new batch of bulbs in the ground every two weeks throughout the spring. This simple technique prevents all the flowers from blooming at once and extends the display from mid-summer into fall.
Yes, you can grow them in cooler climates, but they are not winter-hardy in those regions. You must dig up the bulbs after the first frost in autumn and store them in a cool, dry place indoors until it is safe to replant them the following spring.
Given that these plants reach heights of 42 to 60 inches, they can be susceptible to wind damage. It is recommended to plant them in a sheltered location or use garden stakes to provide support as they mature.
These bulbs thrive in full sun, which means they need at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure they are planted in well-draining soil to prevent the bulbs from rotting, as they prefer consistent moisture but not waterlogged conditions.
Plant each bulb 5 to 6 inches deep to ensure stability for the tall stems. Space them 5 to 6 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and to give the root systems enough room to develop.
Absolutely. The Pastel Lace Collection is specifically prized for its elegant, delicate hues and long stems, making them an excellent choice for fresh-cut flower arrangements.
