STORAGE
AND SPECIAL TIPS: Plant
1-inch deep in the spring. Allow container bulbs to
become root bound, and only divide every 5 years.
Additionally, if planting inground, these beautiful
plants tolerate winter frost well, and they can
recover fully even if they freeze. To help them
along in winter, apply mulch around their base and
plant them closely together. Planting near the
foundation of the house also helps provide
protection from frost. If planting in extremely
cold winter areas, store over winter in their pots,
under cool storage conditions.
A. orientalis 'Tinkerbell', 18", is an
unusual variegated variety.
