This plant thrives in well-draining soil with full sun exposure. It prefers a dry environment, so water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Plant bulbs in the fall, ensuring they are buried at a depth of about three times their height. This plant is drought-tolerant and requires minimal fertilization; a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage tidy growth and focus energy on the bulb for the next blooming season.
