Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors in deep modules from late winter to early spring for a reliable head start, or sow directly outdoors into finely prepared, fertile soil in mid-spring.
• Thin or transplant young seedlings to a final spacing of 10cm to 15cm apart to allow the large globes plenty of room to expand.
• Water regularly during dry spells in the growing season, then stop watering once the leaves begin to yellow and top over, allowing the bulbs to dry and cure thoroughly in the sun before storing.
