1, Saffron fritillary can grow in general soil, but grows fastest in fertile, loose and well-drained sandy soil. Planting can not be too deep. Apply organic fertilizer once a month during the growing period and water in a timely manner. During the growing season, it needs to be watered carefully, kept moist, and fertilized 2-3 times to keep the flowers flourishing. In the hot season, growth is slow, basically dormant, we should pay attention to stop fertilizer and water, placed in the shade, protected over the summer. Winter and spring season growth period should be strengthened fertilizer management.

2, bulb reproduction and split-plant reproduction is the main propagation method. Safflowering the conjoined stems can be separated into 3 kinds of mother bulbs, bud bulbs, leaf bulbs. These three kinds of bulbs in the mother bulb has the ability to directly divide the bulb, 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter, with residual leaf scars, bearing latent buds at the leaf scars, can be successively sprouted into a bulb. Bud bulbs are young balls growing on the parent bulb, with a diameter of about 0.5 to 0.8 centimeters. Leaf bulbs are leafy bulbs with leaves that grow from the budding bulb, which can flower and are about 1.2 to 1.5 centimeters in diameter, and when they grow and develop they become the parent bulb. According to the test, the reproduction coefficient of single bulb is high, and each single bulb can get about 15 to 17 bulbs on average. In order to increase the reproduction coefficient, on the basis of sub-bulb reproduction, the bulb can also be cut into 2 to 6 petals according to the size of the propagation. Bulbs that have been cultivated for two years can be propagated at 20 to 30 plants each. Mother bulbs, leaf bulbs single open-ground planting survival rate is not much difference, soon can send new leaves, the year can be flowering, but the highest reproduction coefficient of the leaf bulbs. Cultivated in different periods of time there is no great difference in the survival rate of saffron edelweiss, generally saffron edelweiss reproduction in spring and fall mainly.

Can also be used for seed propagation, spring and fall can be carried out, in the high temperature above 25 ℃, a week can be sprouted, spring sowing the year can generate intact rhizomes and flowering, fall sowing the second year to flower.

3, saffron edelweiss is susceptible to red spider infestation, such as prevention and treatment is not timely, can cause leaf yellow, dry, less flowers, affecting the ornamental value. Therefore, the grass growth process can be sprayed with 40% of the oxidized lecithin 1000 to 1500 times, 0.2 to 0.3 degrees of stone sulfide, and acaricides.

Landscape use: widely planted in gardens, can be arranged in flower beds, flower border, but also suitable for planting as a large area of groundcover plants and gap clump planting, or a good material for potting.

Saffron edelweiss has a low plant, neat, flowers and leaves, long flowering period, colorful flowers, cover the ground quickly, but also inhibit the growth of weeds and many other advantages, is very suitable for flower beds, flower paths, sparse woodland and forest margins planted in a large area, with the red edelweiss group of words or molded patterns composed of a very good effect. The red-flowered edelweiss can also be used in pots to decorate the square, indoor balcony, but also is a good material for the courtyard green edging.
