Planting
Acidanthera
Plant in spring after the last frost.
If you cannot plant your bulbs and perennials right away, store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 13 cm (5 in) deep and 13 to 15 cm (5 to 6 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing
Acidanthera
Plant in groups which then appear more natural.
These bulbs do best in well-drained soil.
The advantage of acidanthera is that it blooms after the other summer-flowering bulbs.
Care
Acidanthera
When in bloom, feel free to cut some flowers for bouquets.
Flowers are pleasantly fragrant, so plant them where their fragrance can be appreciated.
Winterizing
Acidanthera
After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
You should be able to grow them right up into a USDA zone 4 with no problem outdoors. This is a cold-hardy bulb that does not require any winter protection in colder gardens.
