Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) | November 2004 | neutral

Lovely flowers - several per stem, are nodding in habit, but so bright yellow in color that they cannot be missed. Prefer part shade and rich soil.

Ewing, KY (Zone 6a) | November 2002 | neutral

Plant bulbs 4 inches deep in autumn in fertile, well drained soil that does not dry out. Bulbs need to be damp during storage and before planting.
