Care:

• In wet summer gardens, the corms are best lifted and stored but in well-drained areas, they can be left in the ground.
• Some species of the genus are not cold hardy.
• So if you live in colder regions, dig up the corms and store them before the first frost.
• The corms multiply rapidly if well watered throughout the growing season.
• Seeds can be sown in autumn and will flower the second spring or the offsets can be divided during dormancy and replanted.
