Entretien
Plant your bulbs in the fall with the pointed end facing up to ensure they emerge correctly in spring. Keep an eye out for yellowing foliage after blooming, which is a sign the bulb is storing energy for next year. Avoid overwatering during their dormant summer phase to prevent the bulbs from rotting.

- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the active growing season.
- Engrais
- Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer once in the early spring as new growth appears.
