Experienced gardeners planted this culture at different depths in order to prolong flowering.
- At the bottom of the landing pit pour a little sand to protect the beds from the small insects and improve water permeability.
- The bulbs are put into a hole back down, covered with soil, mixed with fertilizers. As a fertilizer suitable ash, humus, minerals.
- Drizzle.
