Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for the following season. Leave the attractive seed heads in place for extended architectural interest or cut them for dried flower arrangements. Plant amongst later-flowering perennials to conceal the fading foliage while enjoying reliable displays every spring.
