Caring for ipheion uniflorum
These flowers prefer dry summer conditions while it is in dormancy, though if drainage is very good it will not be disturbed by some water. Bulbs will multiply over time and form colonies; they are great choices for naturalizing in large areas. They can live undisturbed for years, even in containers, so divide infrequently. Plant bulbs in autumn about 2 inches deep and 2 inches apart.
