Hardy in zones 7-9.

Plant 3"-4" deep and space 2"-5" apart in groups of 5-7 bulbs. They thrive in full sun or light shade. In colder zones, lift the bulbs after the foliage has died back and store indoors.

To grow indoors as a houseplant, plant 6 bulbs in an 8" pot and place where they will receive a least 4 hours of direct sun. They do best in cool temperatures. After foliage turns brown, withhold water and fertilizer and allow to rest in containers until time to repot in autumn.
