Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌱

Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. Improve clay soils with sand and compost. Mulch around the plant to lock in moisture.

Sunlight: Best in full sun. In very hot inland gardens, a touch of midday shade prevents flowers from fading.

Planting:

  • Season: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm, laying tubers flat.

  • Spacing: 25–40 cm apart for terrace varieties.

Watering: Deep soak every 3–4 days. Avoid waterlogging.

Feeding: Regularly boost with Hadeco Bulb Food for vibrant growth.

Care:

  • Pinch early shoots for bushier plants.

  • Deadhead flowers to extend the blooming season.

  • Stake if needed in windy gardens.

  • Lift in July, trimming stems to 5 cm. Store tubers dry and cool until spring.
