Fully doubled flowers in shades of white and cream trending to darker pastels at the petals edges are produced in spring and early summer on this nonhardy bulb. Plant them in full sun after the danger of hard frosts has passed and water well to establish the finger-like roots. Deadhead flowers to encourage repeat bloom but once the high heat of summer arrives, they will be going dormant. Compounds in the leaves deter deer, rabbits, etc. from nibbling the foliage and flowers.
