Prepare soils by cultivating them to a depth of 25cms and digging in some well rotted humus matter and grit if soils are heavy. Plant the bulbs so that the tip of the bulb is just above the soil surface. Can also be grown in pots in the conservatory or greenhouse. Protect the lush leaves from any early frosts and remember to feed during the flowering and leaf stage with foods such as are well rotted manures, Tomato feed and bone meal.
