The Mediterranean-continental climate creates the ideal environment for the cultivation of the bulbs.
The soil must be limy, fertile and with a high content of organic matter. The most important edaphic limitation is drainage, since flooding damages it, so it is often planted in light or medium textured soils.
The bulbs are buried to a depth of approximately 15-20 cm and in separate furrows of 10 to 30 cm between them. After the fourth or fifth harvest, between the months of May and June, the extraction process takes place, as the proliferation of the corms begins to create competition for space and food between them.
