It is best to support them to insure 
against injury from the elements. Water copiously about twice per week. Liquid manure or blood meal 
will help greatly in developing the florets. 
In cutting spikes, always leave five leaves for continued 
development of bulbs. When the foliage yellows in the fall, lift bulbs and cut foliage within two inches 
of bulb. Let them thoroughly dry, then store in a cool, dry place. 
From planting time, blooms appear in 70 to 80 days for early varieties; 80 to 990, medium; 90 to 100 for late.
