I grew Polianthes tuberosa here in central Indiana for years. The bulbs spent the summers outdoors and the winters bone dry, either bare rooted in the basement or sitting potted in their pots in the basement. Repotting encouraged bloom, as I recall. Once I lost my sense of smell (40 years as a bench chemist can do that to you), I lost some of my interest in Polianthes. I tend to like big and gaudy....
