Planting and Care Instructions
Plant Allium Schubertii x 5 bulbs in well-draining soil in a sunny or partially shaded location. These bulbs prefer a loamy soil with a pH level between 6 and 7. Before planting, ensure the soil is deeply cultivated and remove any weeds or debris.
When planting, place the bulbs at a depth of 10 cm and space them approximately 15 cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and promote root development.
Allium Schubertii x 5 requires moderate watering during the growing season. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent bulb rot.
