Know before you buy
You should plant these corms in the spring once the soil has warmed up and the danger of frost has passed. They typically bloom in late summer.
For the best results, cut the stems when the first few bottom flowers are fully open. This allows the remaining buds to continue opening sequentially once placed in a vase.
As perennials, they can return in warmer climates. However, in regions with freezing winters, you will need to dig up the corms in the fall and store them in a cool, dry place until the following spring.
Yes, the Bizet variety is known for its tall, sturdy spikes. While they are strong, if you live in a particularly windy area, you may still want to provide light staking to keep them perfectly upright.
This package contains 500 corms, making it an ideal choice for large-scale garden beds or for gardeners who plan to harvest a high volume of cut flowers for arrangements.
