Step by step

1. 1PlantingPlant 3× as deep as the bulb is tall. Loves sun on the flower and coolness around the roots — underplanting helps.
2. 2GrowingWater steadily during drought. For tall varieties: provide support against wind.
3. 3BloomingLarge, often fragrant flowers. Remove faded flowers, not the whole stem.
4. 4After floweringLet the stem and leaves yellow completely before cutting back. The bulbs simply stay in the ground.
