The flower stalk may grow up to 20" in height. Plant with the neck even with, or slightly above, the soil surface in composted soil with good drainage in a cool, shady location. Leave it undisturbed for years for the best flowering. Give regular water in summer, drier when winter dormant. USDA zones 9 - 12
