After Flowering

After flowering do not cut the foliage.

Remove the bulbs and compost as a cluster from your re-usable container and plant into the garden or pot.

Dig a hole deep enough to cover a quarter of the foliage above the bulbs.

Carefully replace the soil around the bulbs and foliage.

Do not remove the foliage until it is quite yellow as this allows the goodness to go back into the bulbs.
