Firecracker Flower (BULBS) Pink Surprise

The Firecracker Flower (BULBS) Pink Surprise, also known as Dicholostemma, features pendulous pink blooms with yellow tips that are irresistible to hummingbirds. It thrives in both full sun and semi-shade, making it a versatile addition to mixed borders. This unique bulb blooms in late spring to early summer and prefers lightly shaded areas that become dry after flowering. It can also be grown in containers, as long as it is allowed to go dry while dormant. The flowers are expertly designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making for a spectacular display. 1. In the Fall, choose a very sunny spot with well-drained soil.
2. Planting dichelostemma bulbs is fairly simple. You'll notice when you receive your bulbs that they look like mini onions and it will be easy to see that the spike should point upwards when planting.
3. Usually the rule of thumb when planting bulbs is that bulbs need at least 2 times their height of soil above them. Dig a 2 to 3 inch deep hole, drop the bulb into it (remember, spike points up!) and cover with soil.
4. Regarding spacing between bulbs, if planting in beds, leave approx 4 inches between each bulb. If you are planting in containers, you can cluster them a little closer together.
5. After planting, water well so that the soil above the bulbs settles.
6. Dichelostemma bulbs will flower in the late Spring. After the flowers die down, the plant can enjoy a warm and dry rest period. You don't have to water too much during this rest period.
