Water consistently once the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage in pots and garden beds.

Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back any yellowed or damaged foliage as needed.

In late autumn, after the foliage has died back, cut stems to the ground to prepare for winter.

Propagated by division of the bulbous roots in spring or early autumn. Sow seeds in spring, though flowering may take a year or two. Seeds require stratification (a period of cold) for best germination.

Divisions establish faster than seedlings.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid excess moisture retention.

Refresh the soil for healthier growth.
