Tritonia Crocata (10 bulbs)

About:

Tritonia crocata is a striking, late spring and early summer-flowering plant which produces a fan of short, lance-shaped leaves in autumn and a spike of numerous bright fiery orange or reddish orange, almost regular, cup-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer and a fan of short, lance-shaped leaves. Tritonia crocata is deciduous, winter-growing geophytes (a plant with a subterranean storage organ) up to 350 mm high. It has a flattened corm surrounded by a few layers of fibrous outer tunics and multiplies by cormlets produced around its base. It is free-flowering, makes an ideal container and rock garden subject, and multiplies rapidly.

Bulb Size: 5cm+

Flowering Season: Spring and summer

Available Month: July-August

Planting Media: Use ordinary garden soil thoroughly mulched with sand and well decayed cow manure. The soil must be well drained.

Water: The soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.

Sunlight: It prefers full sunlight to partly shady places

Pot culture: Use 8 inches pot to plant 10 bulbs keeping even spaces.
