Well-drained, sandy loam with organic matter. Cool root zone preferred.
Water regularly during active growth and blooming. Allow soil to dry completely after foliage dies back (summer dormancy).

Apply bulb fertilizer in early spring before growth emerges. Stop feeding once leaves yellow naturally.
Remove spent flowers to prevent seed set. Cut back foliage only when it turns yellow/brown.
