Veseys

Hardy to Zone 8.

Fill an attractive shallow bowl 2/3 full of pebbles, gravel, stone chips or soilless potting mix. Arrange the bulbs on top of the filling material, tops upward, and add water so it just barely touches the bottom of the bulbs. Add just enough more gravel or potting mix to hold the bulbs securely in place - the top 3/4 of the bulbs should be visible. Set the bowl in a cool location (15-18°C), out of direct sunlight. In about two weeks, green shoots will appear. When these are 3"-4" tall, move the bowl into a cool spot with direct sun. Turn the bowl often to keep stems straight and maintain the water level. Bulbs started in early November will be ready at Christmas time. Discard bulbs after blooming.
