Care tips
It requires full sun to partial shade exposure for optimal flowering. Watering should be moderate during growth and flowering, significantly reducing it once the leaves wither. It prefers well-drained, organically rich soils; a common mistake is overwatering in summer when the bulb is dormant, which can lead to rot.
