In the garden, use the compact form near the front of a border or grow it in a patio pot; flowering stems can also be cut for arrangements. ## Maintenance Deadhead faded flowers to tidy the plant; routine pruning is unnecessary. Leave foliage in place until it dies down, then separate offsets if you want to propagate the bulb.
