Water consistently during the active growing season (spring to autumn). Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly once the foliage begins to die back in summer, allowing the bulbs to go dormant.

Remove spent flower stalks to prevent seed formation and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back yellowing or dying foliage in late summer or early autumn after the plant has gone dormant.

Avoid cutting green leaves prematurely.

Easily propagated by dividing bulb offsets in late summer or early autumn after the foliage has died back. Seeds can also be sown in autumn, but flowering may take several years.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early autumn. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the bulbs are planted at the correct depth, with the tip just below the soil surface.
