CareFor best results, plant bulbs in full sun to part shade and in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.
PropagationIn fall, by division, bulblet transplanting, and scaling.
ProblemsDamage from various insects, deer, rabbits, voles, groundhogs, and birds. Gray mold and viruses spread by aphids may occur.
