Aftercare
Plant corms in spring once frost risk has passed, in well-drained soil and a sunny position. Water during dry periods and provide support in exposed areas if needed. Remove faded flower spikes to keep plants tidy. Lift corms after foliage has died back in autumn and store frost-free over winter in colder areas.
