Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, pointed end up, approximately 6 inches deep, adjusting the depth to bulb size and package directions.

Maintenance: Remove faded flowers after blooming and allow foliage to yellow naturally so the bulbs can replenish their energy for the following season.

Long-Term Care: Leave bulbs in the ground after flowering. Divide crowded clumps when needed, once the foliage has died back.
