Flowers depend on when corms are planted, if Autumn planted they will flower in Spring. If Spring planted they will flower in Summer.
They are hardy down to 32F only so best grown in a greenhouse in frost prone areas or lifted before first frosts, they may tolerate occasional air frosts in dry soils.
They like very well drained, rich soil in full sun and a sheltered site. They loathe wet soils even during summer so protect from heavy downfalls. I know this to my cost!
Found growing in Dime Box Tx.
