Well-drained, fertile loam mixed with sand or perlone. Corms require excellent drainage to prevent rot.
Regular watering during active growth phase; reduce significantly after flowering as corms mature for dormancy.
Full sun required for optimal blooming and stalk strength; leggy growth in shade.
Apply balanced bulb fertilizer at planting and again when buds form to support heavy blooms.
Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed set; cut stems for indoor vases early morning.
