Water regularly during spring growth. Allow soil to dry completely after foliage dies back (summer dormancy).

Apply balanced bulb fertilizer in early spring when shoots emerge. Stop fertilizing once leaves yellow.
Cut back dead foliage after it turns yellow/brown to encourage energy storage for next year.
