No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant corms directly outdoors after the last spring frost when soil has warmed. Space corms 4 inches apart with rows 6 inches apart, planting at a depth roughly 2 to 3 times the corm's height.
Direct plant corms into garden soil or containers after the last frost date, when soil temperature has warmed. Corms are not seeds and do not require the traditional seed-starting process.
Cut stems for arrangements when the lowest florets begin to open, typically around day 70 to 79 after planting. This timing allows remaining buds on the stem to open gradually indoors, extending the arrangement's life. Cut stems early in the morning and place immediately in cool water. If leaving corms in the ground for perennial zones, deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and energy storage in the corm.
