Pruning Tips
Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to replenish the bulb’s energy for the next season. Avoid cutting back until the leaves have turned yellow.

Wildlife Value
Highly attractive to early pollinators, including bees, and provides an early nectar source.

Positioning
Thrives in partial shade to full sun; ideal for meadows, damp borders, and under deciduous trees. Prefers areas with reliable moisture in spring.

Water
Prefers moist but well-drained soil in spring. Avoid overly dry conditions while in growth, but ensure bulbs do not sit in waterlogged soil over winter.

Soil
Humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil. Prefers neutral to slightly acidic conditions but is adaptable.

Food
Apply a light mulch of compost or well-rotted leaf mould in autumn to enrich the soil. No additional feeding is necessary.

Pet-safe
Toxic if ingested; keep away from pets and children.

Sprouts Top Tips
For a naturalistic look, plant in groups and allow them to naturalise over time. They pair beautifully with other spring wildflowers like Primula and Anemone blanda for a charming woodland effect.
