Best grown in cooler climates these delicate plants will need a sheltered environment. Unlike many bulbs they don't like to dry out too much during their dormant period and are best planted as soon as they are received. A little extra manure or compost will help them along. Plant 10 to 15cm apart and 5cm deep. Fertilise with a little blood and bone after flowering.
