Yes. Triteleia 'Queen Fabiola' is a perennial corm-producing plant that can return in subsequent growing seasons when grown in suitable conditions. Well-drained soil, appropriate seasonal watering, and allowing the foliage to die back naturally after flowering help maintain the corms. In colder regions, additional winter protection or lifting and storing the corms may be necessary.
