Hardy. Perennial. Plant in a sunny location that has fertile well-drained soil. The bulbs are slightly tender and will need mulching over during the winter months to protect from frost.

Propagation: Remove offsets when the plant is in its dormant state and grow in pots until mature. You can also collect the seeds when ripe.
