This hybrid grows tall enough to hold its own in mixed borders yet stays sturdy and weather-resistant. The ivory-white petals open reliably each spring after a fall planting, and because it's hardy down to zone 3, northern gardeners can plant it once and enjoy it year after year without replanting.
Ivory Floradale serves as a spring-flowering ornamental bulb, grown for its elegant white blooms in garden beds and borders. The tall, upright stems make it well-suited to cutting for fresh arrangements, where the pristine white petals contribute a classic, refined look to spring bouquets and indoor displays.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant bulbs outdoors in fall, ideally September through October, for spring blooming. Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. In zones 3 through 8, bulbs can remain in the ground year-round. In zones 9 and 10, use pre-cooled bulbs to ensure proper flowering.
Plant bulbs directly into garden soil in fall at a depth of 4 to 6 inches, spacing them six inches apart. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent rot.
