Ours grow to about 4. The fertility of the soil can have an effect as they atre greedy feeders; not that ours ever get fed!

Is it right that you plant the bulb upside down or on it's side so it doesn't rot?
6 Dec, 2015
yes until the bulb gets established to stop the top rotting and will right itself in the end

No, Ladye, I have never done that and have no problem. Our soil is very well drained, if you garden in a heavy soil (eg Essex?) it may be different.

mine got to about 3.5 ft and I put them on their side when I planted them. when I accidently dug one up it was the right way up. I wouldn't put it upside down as that is quite a turning act for it.
I don't bother now they go in the right way and don't seem to have a problem.

Never seen it get more than 3 feet myself, even in optimum conditions.
