A great spring-summer "bulb". Perhaps more "bang for the buck" than most bulb-like plants. Can be grow from seed, naturalizes in mild climates, but usually the odd-looking rhizme is planted, "toes-down".

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
