(Not shipped until late May/early June, after we dig them; subject to separate, minimum shipping charge.) Grown right here on our farm, these pest proof flowers that bloom on naked stems last forever in the garden and in the vase; we think the bulbs are happier and perform better if we ship them to you right after they’re dug on our farm in late May or early JUNE – plant right away so the roots don’t dry out; prefers part sun to part shade and good well-drained soil; this is not an ‘instant gratification’ plant so please be patient – they’ll get better and better each year.
