Aftercare
Remove faded flowers once blooming has finished but leave the foliage to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for the following spring. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged conditions during dormancy. Plant in groups for maximum impact and enjoy the distinctive fringed blooms both in the garden and as elegant cut flowers.
