Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200].
A stoloniferous plant[200]. Early to mid autumn is the best time to plant out the bulbs in cool temperate areas, in warmer areas they can be planted out as late as late autumn[200].
A very ornamental plant[1], it requires greenhouse protection in Zone 7 or colder areas of Britain[200]. It is not suitable for pot cultivation because of its stoloniferous habit[200]. The flowers have a penetrating and spicy perfume[245].
The plant should be protected against rabbits and slugs in early spring. If the shoot tip is eaten out the bulb will not grow in that year and will lose vigour[200].
