Well-drained sandy loam or grit-heavy mix to prevent bulb rot during dormancy
Water regularly during active growth in spring, allow soil to dry out completely after foliage dies back in summer (dormancy)
Full sun to partial shade; requires direct light for flowering energy but tolerates dappled spring shade
Apply bulb fertilizer at planting time and when shoots emerge; avoid overfeeding which encourages rot
Allow foliage to yellow and die naturally before removal to replenish bulb energy for next season
