Position and soil
These originate in summer rainfall areas. They do adore a well-drained, sandy soil in a full sun position. They resent being moved and do not flower in the first year after transplanting. 

Further Care
The summer growing-species should be kept dry in winter. This is a summer-growing bulb and when in growth it can take normal watering, but it needs a long, dry rest in the winter. Do not lift them. Protect these plants against lily borer.
