'Happy Carmen' does best in sunny or shady beds in the summer garden, but also thrives in containers of all kinds. In all but tropical areas, the bulbs should be dug up in fall and stored indoors for replanting in spring (or the container moved to a frost-free area, such as indoors near a bright window). Every few years, when the flowering diminishes, dig up the bulb in early fall and divide it into new plants. Feed heavily during the growth period for even bigger, better blooms! The dark salmon colored blooms are great for cutting and indoor gardens as well as any beds, baskets, or borders you want to brighten with bold color. You will love this easy, adaptable plant! Each bulb can reach heights of 24 inches tall.
