Growing tips

Fertilizer applications of potash and phosphorus only until mid-June increase shelf life. Germination at 10-20°C. The soil should not be freshly fertilized at sowing. Only the roots should be in the soil. Pre-germination is recommended. The bulbs are ripe as soon as the foliage turns yellow. Harvest in dry weather and ideally let them ripen for a few more days in the dry field. Then store in a dry, airy and cool place, e.g. tied as braids.
