It should be planted around 15cm\/6\" deep and 40cm apart from other bulbs. Once planted, they will require regular watering and fertilising throughout the growing season to ensure they reach their full potential. It is also important to stake the plants as they grow to prevent them from falling over under the weight of the large blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the growing season comes to an end, lift and store the tubers over winter to protect them from frost. This can be done by carefully digging up the tubers and allowing them to dry out before storing them in a cool, dry place. When the weather warms up in spring, the tubers can then be replanted for another season of beautiful blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its strong stems and long flowering period, it is perfect for cut flowers and its large blooms will be sure to impress.
