Plant bulbs in the autumn with the neck and shoulder above the soil surface. Grow in a loam based peat-free potting compost. Water sparingly until in active growth, water regulary when in growth and feed fortnightly with a balanced liquid feed. After flowering, reduce the watering as the leaves die off.
