The plant grows to about two (2) feet tall and has spikes with several inches of small star-shaped flowers running up and down the spike.  Once the flowers are dead, the green foliage will add to your garden for another month or two. Allow the foliage to die back naturally. When it is completely dead, then you can cut if off. Remember, the foliage is what takes in the sun energy to allow the bulbs to make it through the year and produce beautiful blooms the next year. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eThey make lovely cut flowers as the flower shoot is separate from the leaves.

These work best in zones 4-8 so they will bloom a little earlier in zone 8 (April) than they will in zone 4. They do best in well-drained soil, but they can tolerate clay as long as they receive good watering.
