Care

For growing it in a pot, on a balcony or a windowsill.

Planting

Plant bulbs in autumn or early spring, two to three times their own height deep.

Light

Flowers in the sun, roots in the cool. Small plants shading the base of the pot help.

Water

Regularly while growing, less once the leaves yellow.

After flowering

Cut off faded flowers but leave the leaves until they yellow on their own; they feed the bulb.
