Culture Notes
Prefers a woodland setting. Will naturalize in the garden, so give it space. It is recommended that these bulbs not be dug or divided unless necessary. Bell-shaped flowers in pyramidal racemes appear on sturdy stems. Since this plant's leaves eventually turn yellow and die, it's best to plant them with a mixture of other perennials (Pachysandra, Phlox divaricata and Hosta) that can take over.
