How quickly will this Picotee bulb flower when forced indoors?

When grown indoors under typical warm, bright conditions, a healthy Picotee bulb will produce a flowering stem within about 6–8 weeks. Timing depends on temperature, light, and watering, so consistent care speeds development.

• Expect bloom in 6–8 weeks from potting the bulb.
• Provide bright, indirect light and moderate warmth (around 60–70°F).
• Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to avoid rot.

What size and display options does the 28–30cm bulb offer?

The Daylily Nursery Picotee comes as a large 28–30cm bulb capable of producing tall flower stalks up to roughly 20 inches (about 50 cm). Its scale makes it well suited to medium-to-large pots, urns, or landscape planting after forcing.

• Bulb diameter: 28–30cm for strong flower production.
• Typical flower height: around 20 inches when in bloom.
• Works well as a single-stem centerpiece or in grouped plantings for more impact.

When and how should I plant Picotee bulbs outdoors?

Picotee bulbs are best forced indoors in winter and transplanted outdoors after the last frost, or planted in the fall according to your USDA zone. Follow local planting windows to give bulbs time to establish roots before extreme heat or cold.

• Fall planting: time varies by zone—plant from early September to October depending on your region.
• Spring planting: wait until frost risk has passed; many regions plant from March to May.
• Avoid shipping or planting during extreme temperatures below 32°F or above 95°F to protect bulb health.

What care does the Picotee require after flowering?

After blooms fade, allow foliage to remain until it yellows naturally so the bulb can store energy for next season. Mulch for winter protection in colder zones and replant or pot as needed to maintain vigor.

• Keep leaves until they die back to feed the bulb for future blooms.
• Dig and store bulbs in hotter or colder extremes if local climate is unsuitable year-round.
• Divide or re-pot every few years to refresh soil and encourage strong bulbs.
