Well-draining, humus-rich soil; bulbs rot easily in heavy clay or waterlogged conditions.
Keep moist during growth phase (autumn to spring), allow to dry completely during summer dormancy.
Prefers partial shade; direct sun in warmer climates can scorch foliage before dormancy.
Apply bulb food at planting and immediately after flowering finishes.
Remove flower stalks post-bloom; let foliage yellow naturally before cutting back in late spring.
