Growing Tips for South African Gardens 🌿

Soil: Use loose, well-draining soil. If your soil is clay-heavy, mix in compost and sand for better drainage. Mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Sunlight: Prefers full sun, though a little midday shade in very hot inland regions will reduce water stress.

Planting:

  • Time: October – December.

  • Depth: 8 cm, with tubers facing downwards.

  • Spacing: 20–30 cm apart for neat borders and container displays.

Watering: Water deeply every 3–4 days for about 10 minutes. Avoid waterlogging to prevent rot.

Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertiliser, such as Hadeco Bulb Food, to support continuous flowering.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Deadhead regularly to prolong blooming.

  • Stake lightly if plants grow taller than expected.

  • If leaves yellow at the end of the season, cut stems back to 5 cm above soil.

  • Lift tubers in July, store them in a cool, dry place, and replant in spring for an even stronger show.
