Germination Instructions

• Soak the Fullstar® Pastel Mix corms in room-temperature water for 4–6 hours before planting, allowing a trickle of water into the soaking bowl to increase oxygenation and giving enough room for the corms to expand as they rehydrate. C
• hoose a location with well-draining soil, since corms are prone to rot in waterlogged conditions.
• Plant corms 5–7 cm deep, spacing 10–15 cm apart.
• Corms typically take around 2 months to sprout and about 3 months to reach flowering under favorable cool-season conditions.
• In Kuwait, plant corms directly outdoors from mid-September through October, once temperatures begin to moderate from summer heat.

Growing Tips

• Fullstar® Pastel Mix thrives in moderately fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost, in a full sun to partial shade position.
• Water regularly but avoid overwatering, since the roots should never sit in excess moisture.
• Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and cut stems for arrangements just as buds begin to show color, for the longest vase life.
• Because this is a blended mix, expect variation in bloom timing and exact tone from corm to corm, which adds natural depth to a mass planting rather than a uniform, single-tone display.

Gulf Planting Season

• Plant corms outdoors: Mid-September through October, once temperatures begin to moderate
  Soak: 4–6 hours before planting
  Days to sprout: Approximately 2 months
  Days to flower: Approximately 3 months from planting — flowering from December through February for mid-September-planted corms
  Note: As a blended mix, Fullstar® Pastel Mix will show natural variation in flowering time across the planting, extending the effective bloom window compared to a single-color variety.
• The mix’s improved disease resistance and deer resistance are practical advantages for Kuwait’s raised-bed growing systems, and its attraction to butterflies adds pollinator value to ornamental beds during the cool season.

Companion Planting

• The soft, blended palette of Fullstar® Pastel Mix pairs naturally with Ranunculus asiaticus, sharing similar corm planting depth and cool-season timing for a coordinated bulb display.
• Pale cream or white Antirrhinum majus provides vertical structure that complements the mix’s rounded, pompom-like blooms, while silvery-leaved companions such as dusty miller help the pastel tones read more distinctly against a neutral backdrop.

Garden & Floristry Uses

• Fullstar® Pastel Mix is an exceptional choice for premium cut flower production, wedding bouquets, luxury floral arrangements, patio containers, ornamental borders, collector gardens, and elegant cool-season landscapes.
• Its fully double peony-like flowers and refined pastel color palette create a soft, romantic appearance, making it one of the most versatile and elegant selections within the Fullstar® collection.
