Hardy in Zones 6-9

Spring Starflower

Grow in full sun in average soil that is moist and well drained. Plant 3" deep and 4-6" apart. Where not hardy, grow starflower in pots. Pot up in autumn with tips of bulbs 1/2" below soil surface. Keep in cold frame or in cold room (5-10°C) keeping soil just barely moist over the winter. After plants have bloomed in spring, water & feed regularly until the leaves yellow. Store pots nearly dry until next year. Repot in fall as necessary. Division is not necessary, but they can be divided in summer just as the leaves disappear.
