Plant bulbs in autumn, with neck of bulb at surface level of soil.  Under glass, grow in potting soil under full light.  Top-dress when grown begins, then give plenty of water and use balanced fertilizer until leaves die down.  Keep dry while dormant (summer).  Outdoors, grow in fertile soil with good drainage, under full sun.  Protect with dry winter mulch if you are in a marginal cold zone.
