Rich, well-drained sandy loam with added organic matter; corms rot easily in heavy clay.
Keep soil moist during growth and flowering; reduce watering after blooming as foliage yellows.
Full sun required (6+ hours daily) for strong stems and vibrant color development.
Apply balanced bulb fertilizer at planting; high potassium feed promotes flower spikes in late spring.
Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed set; cut stems for bouquets early morning when buds open.
