Watch out for

Slugs and snails: Use copper tape barriers, beer traps, or iron phosphate-based pellets to control populations.

Powdery mildew: Ensure good air circulation and apply a sulphur-based fungicide if infection is severe.

Bulb rot: Plant in well-draining soil and avoid waterlogging to prevent fungal or bacterial decay.

Vine weevil: Apply nematode treatments in autumn or use systemic insecticides to target larvae.
