Instructions
Follow the planting instructions printed on each pack. Place taller varieties towards the back and lower ones to the front. Plant bulbs in small groups in well-drained soil, at a depth of 2–3 times the bulb height. Work the soil by mixing in organic manure to around 30 cm deep. Water well after planting and repeat a few times during the first month, soaking the ground rather than watering over the plants. Feed well during the growing season with NPK 12-10-18. In autumn, lift any bulbs that are not winter-hardy and store them in a cool, frost-free place; protect stored bulbs from mice. Remove dead leaves regularly and divide perennials every 3–4 years. Soak perennials for 12–18 hours before planting (not longer than 24 hours). Space plants 25–30 cm apart and plant so they sit just below the soil surface. Wear gloves when handling Aconitum and keep it away from vegetables.
