💧 Watering

Water after planting and keep the soil lightly moist during active growth, without allowing it to become waterlogged. Reduce watering as the foliage yellows. The tubers need a dry resting period during summer.

☀️ Light & Position

Grow in sun or partial shade. In Malta, morning sunshine with light afternoon shade is a practical choice, particularly for pots. Avoid deep shade and areas where rainwater collects.

🌿 Feeding

Mix compost into the soil before planting. Plants in good garden soil usually need little extra feeding. In pots, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer occasionally during active growth, following the product instructions.

🍃 After Flowering

Allow the foliage to yellow and dry naturally before removing it. The plants become dormant after their spring display, so disappearing leaves are normal.

Leave the tubers planted where drainage is good and summer conditions remain relatively dry. Clumps may gradually spread over time.

🇲🇹 Local Growing Tips

Wait for cooler autumn conditions before planting. Avoid frequent summer irrigation around dormant tubers. Pots or raised beds are useful where garden soil holds too much winter rain.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Not pet safe. Harmful if eaten, so keep plants and tubers away from cats and dogs. The sap may also irritate skin; wear gloves when handling.
