How to grow
Easy to grow, plant and forget until the strap-like foliage emerges in mid-late spring. Water regularly once growth appears and throughout flowering. Best grown in full sun although they will tolerate some afternoon shade, enjoy flowers in the garden or a vase. Plant in a well-drained soil in full sun or, if growing in pots, use a premium quality potting mix. Water regularly during the growing and flowering period. Leave to dry out while bulbs are dormant.
