The plant grows in a full-sun and warm to cold environment. It sprouts in spring, flowers in summer, fruits in autumn, the parts above the ground wither and the underground bulbs enter dormancy in winter. Medium with good drainage and rich in organic matter is preferred. Apply long-active compound fertilizers once a season in spring and summer. Cut water use during dormancy in autumn and winter. Avoid pruning the stems after flowering. Propagated from seeds, scale cuttings, and bulb division.

花朵作為切花使用。球莖可食用，具有滋補養身的功效，可在休眠期採收洗淨後冷藏50天，讓球莖中的澱粉轉化為蔗糖，增加甘甜滋味與口感。

The flowers are often used as materials of cut flowers. The edible bulbs are rich in nutrients; they are harvested in the dormant period and kept in refrigerators for 50 days to convert the starch into sucrose for a desirable sweet taste and mouthfeel.
