Well-drained, gritty soil; requires excellent drainage to prevent bulb rot.
Water moderately during active growth (spring). Allow soil to dry out completely after foliage dies back for dormancy.
Full sun is preferred for optimal flowering; tolerates partial shade in hot climates.
Apply slow-release bulb fertilizer or compost in early spring before emergence.
Remove spent flower heads. Do not cut foliage until it yellows and withers naturally.
