Brodiaea Cultural Notes

Situation:
Brodiaea bulbs grow best in a sunny, well drained position. As with most bulbs, we recommend you prepare the soil about a month before planting by working through some well rotted organic matter or a balanced commercial fertiliser. If you miss the window, don't worry, just add it at the time of planting.

Time of Planting:
March to May in a moist soil. Plant 5-7cm deep (average three times the height of the bulb) pointy end up and space 6-10cm apart. Plant closer for a more instant affect. Flowers late spring to early summer. 50cm H x 10cm W.

General Care:
Brodiaea are easily grown and apart from regular watering during the growing season, no other special treatment is necessary.

Digging & Storing:
Bulbs can be left in the ground to naturalise. When bulbs have been left in the ground, top dress with some fertiliser each autumn. As required, all these bulbs can be dug after the foliage has died right down. Lift and replant immediately or store in a dry, airy position and replant the following autumn.
