1. 🗓️ Choose the Right Season

2. 🌱 Prepare the Soil
   Soil Type: Loose, well-draining, fertile sandy or loamy soil
   pH Level: Neutral to slightly alkaline (6.5–7.5)
   Improve soil by mixing in compost or organic matter before planting

3. 🌾 Planting the Bulbs
   Depth: Plant bulbs 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) deep
   Spacing: 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) apart
   Place with pointed end facing upward

4. 💧 Watering
   Water well after planting to settle the soil
   Keep the soil slightly moist during the growth period
   Reduce watering after flowering and as foliage begins to yellow

5. 🌿 Growth & Blooming
   Shoots emerge in early spring
   Blooms mid to late spring with vibrant orange petals and yellow accents
   Jan Seignette is admired for its vivid color contrast and strong garden presence

6. ☀️ Sunlight & Temperature
   Prefers full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight daily)
   Performs best in cool climates with winter chilling
   Needs cold dormancy to bloom successfully

7. 🌼 Fertilization
   Use a balanced bulb fertilizer during planting
   Fertilize again when new shoots appear in spring
   Avoid excess nitrogen to promote strong blooms instead of leafy growth

8. 🛡️ Pest & Disease Control
   Common pests: Aphids, slugs, bulb flies
   Diseases: Botrytis (gray mold), bulb rot in soggy soil
   Ensure good drainage and air circulation
   Use neem oil or insecticidal soap for pest control

9. 🌸 Aftercare & Maintenance
   Deadhead faded flowers to focus energy on bulb development
   Allow foliage to yellow naturally before cutting
   Lift and store bulbs in warm areas during summer
   Replant every 2–3 years to maintain vibrant blooming

10. 🌱 Regrow Tip
    Propagate using offsets (small bulbs growing beside the main bulb)
