Tall spires of flowers really stand out in your borders
Great choice for damp soils
Grow in clumps or en mass for best effects
Suited to alpine settings
Also ideal as cut flowers
Spiky foliage & tall flowers contrast well with bold leaved plants such as:
- Hostas, Gunnera, Heuchera & Fatsia Japonica
Other companion plants include Festuca Glauca, Ferns, Hostas & Filipendulas

It is always best to start your bulbs indoors, in a greenhouse or polytunnel
Grow in large pots (5L or bigger)
Once shoots are 10cm in height you can move out into the garden
Happy in partial shade
Can be grown in most soils including wet & damp soils
If you have dry soil then place a layer of polythene in the base of the planting hole, approx. 50cm below soil level
Sow roots as soon as they arrive
Don't allow roots to dry out
Ideally soak before planting for 10 minutes
Water again after planting
Dead-head spent flowers to encourage repeat blooms
Divide clumps in Autumn after 3 or 4 years

Arrived well packaged
