Plant during the recommended period shown in the variety’s specifications. If you cannot plant straight away, store them somewhere cool, dry and well ventilated.
Dozens of tiny lavender blue trumpets on short spikes gather into a large ball of colour in the Triteleia laxa 'Corrina' - commonly known as the Triplet Lily. These balls rest above the level of your average flower garden varieties, creating almost a cosmos effect of planets above the earth. Each tiny trumpet in this garden orchestra is finely detailed and delicate, it’s six lavender petals creating dainty beauty around the centre from which the lavender stamens extend. The collective ball can reach 20 cm wide (8 inch) so they make a bold showing above their long-leaved curving green foliage.
The foliage of Triteleia laxa 'Corrina' lasts all year while the flowers bloom from the middle of summer till well into October.

Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
