How to Plant your Hymenocallis

• Plant into pots between March and May using multipurpose compost and grow them on indoors or in a warm greenhouse.
• Once the risk of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outside from May onwards.
• Alternatively, you can plant them straight outside in May.

Planting in Pots

• Plant your Hymenocallis Festalis bulbs with their neck and shoulders above soil level.
• Space the bulbs around 10-15cm apart.
• Plant 1 bulb to 6" pot or 3 bulbs to a 12" pot.
• Plant in a good-quality multipurpose compost. 
• Place in a sunny position. 
• Water regularly. Allow the soil to become dry between watering.

How to care for your Hymenocallis

• If planting in the garden, you may need to lift and store your bulbs over the colder months to protect from frost.
• Lift your bulbs (once the stem and foliage has died back naturally) and store in a cool, dry place like a greenhouse or garage.
• Place bulbs in a paper bag or cardboard box for protection. The bulbs should be cleaned of any soil (you can brush off any excess soil).
• If planting in pots, simply bring under cover until the risk of frost has passed and move back outside in the spring months. 
• Don't let the bulbs sit in wet soil whilst dormant.
