Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before watering again.</li> <li><strong>Fertilizing:</strong> Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.</li> <li><strong>Deadheading:</strong> Remove spent blooms to encourage new flowers and tidy the plant.</li> <li><strong>Winter Care:</strong> In colder climates (zones below 8), dig up the bulbs before the first frost.
