Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best with upper plant in full sun and roots in shade. Plant bulbs 4-6″ deep in rich, organic soil in fall or early spring (some nurseries only ship bulbs in fall, however). Potted plants may be planted any time from spring to fall. Plant in groups of at least three for best display and space 12″ apart. Bulbs need good moisture year-round. Do not allow soil to dry out. Mulch around plants to keep root zone cool. Remove flowers as they fade to prevent seed from setting. After bloom, cut plants back only after leaves and stems turn yellow.
