Water regularly to keep the soil moist, particularly during spring and early summer. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings once the plant enters dormancy.

Deadhead spent flowers to prevent seed formation if desired, though not strictly necessary. Remove dead foliage in late summer or early autumn after it has yellowed and died back.

Easily propagated by division of bulbs in late summer or early autumn. Seeds can be sown fresh in autumn, but germination can be slow and erratic.

Established bulbs in the ground rarely need repotting. If grown in pots, repot every 2-3 years in late summer or early autumn into fresh potting mix.
