Step 1: Plant the clusters pointed ends up into separate 6 inch pots or
combine together into larger pots. Cover top of bulbs with 2 inches
of soil. Plastic pots with drainage holes work the best. If planting
into the garden itself, wait until the ground has permanently
thawed. Allow 6-8 weeks to sprout depending on the heat and sun
they receive.

Step 2: In pots, place and leave plants outside in the full sun when evening
temperatures stay above freezing.

Step 3: Be patient for spring growth. They break in late June with a vigorous
growth rate. They like deep watering and lots of sun. They
bloom for many months late into the autumn every year.

Step 4: In the fall after the 1st frost, cut plants back to ground and bring
pots back inside the garage or basement. Place back outside in late
spring after the danger of frost.
