Tritonia Flower Bulbs (Mixed)

About Tritonia Flower Bulbs (Mixed)

Tritonia bulbs bring a vibrant mix of colours to Indian gardens. Part of the Iridaceae family (related to Gladiolus, Freesia and Iris), they're graceful, easy to grow, and well-suited to balcony pots, terraces and backyards.

How to Plant

1. Soak the bulbs in lukewarm water for 4-6 hours before planting.
2. Use well-draining soil mixed with compost and sand.
3. Plant the bulbs 3-5 cm deep with the pointed end facing upwards, spacing them 5-7 cm apart.
4. Water lightly after planting to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Light, Water & Soil

• Light: a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily gives the best flowering.
• Water: only when the topsoil feels dry; avoid overwatering, especially before shoots emerge.
• Soil: sandy loam or clay soil with good drainage.

Planting Season & Blooming

Best planted in autumn or early winter (October-December), in mild temperatures of roughly 15-25C. Flowers typically appear 8-10 weeks after planting.

Care & Pruning

• Fertilizer: a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growing season.
• Pruning: deadhead spent blooms to encourage new flowers.
• Storage: in hot climates, dig up bulbs after flowering and store in a cool, dry place; in cooler regions they can stay in the ground.
