Plant the bulbs 2 inches deep and space them 2 inches apart. Ensure the soil is moist and well-drained to provide the best environment for root development.

Absolutely. They are prized as cut flowers because of their strong, sweet fragrance and long-lasting nature in a vase. Their sturdy, leafless stems make them very easy to arrange in bouquets.
