How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water newly planted bulbs lightly at first, providing enough water to keep the soil slightly moist. Increase the amount of water when the plant is established, keeping the soil continually moist but never waterlogged. Continue watering regularly until the plant stops blooming, then decrease gradually as temperatures drop in fall. The plant will go dormant when nighttime temperatures reach about 60 F. (15 C.).
Fertilizer
Fertilize egret flowers every other week during flowering, using a very dilute (10 to 20 percent) liquid fertilizer.
Sunlight
Best grown in full sun to part shade.
