Keep evenly moist during spring–summer growth; reduce after the foliage dies back and keep the corms drier (but not bone dry) through winter dormancy.
Substrato

Temperatura e umidità
Cool to mild and largely hardy (to about -10 °C with mulch); needs a cool winter rest. Average humidity.
Concimazione
Feed lightly every few weeks during active growth; avoid heavy feeding.
Potatura
Let foliage die back naturally, then tidy. Divide congested clumps in early spring. Non-toxic.
