Step 1 – Plant one tuber per 8 inch container or two to three per 12-14 inch container.  Plant rounded side down with concave side up. The roots will also be on the bottom side. Pots must have drainage holes. If planting bulbs into the garden itself, wait until the threat of frost is over. Partial sun is best.
Step 2 - Cover the top of bulbs with only ¼ to ½ inches of soil.
Step 3 - Water the plants thoroughly.
Step 4 - In pots, you may place plants outside in partial sun as long as evening temperatures stay above 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 5 - Planted now each tuber will produce magnificent, ostentatious flowers up to 6-8 inches across in about ten weeks and all summer long year after year!
