This plant yellows every summer. Does anyone know why? I have not needed to water it all summer up to the week of 7/29 because God has provided rain, but this week there has been no rain till 8/1/21. I water it 7/31/21. Is it the heat that’s causing the yellowing? I lived outside of Dallas, TX.

Back in a former life, when we lived in southern Georgia, we were told that they preferred partial to full shade to protect them from the hot summer sun, and were told not to water them as they preferred drier soil. Following that guidance, they were planted in shady area under Dogwood trees and ignored. They grew and bloomed profusely with no human intervention.

Thank you, now I know. i'm watering and they are in full texas sun. Moving them will be a project because the bulbs are deep in the ground. They are beautiful when green and blooming. I have to think of a new area later on this fall if I can fit it in. Thank you.
