I've planted many, many bulbs of this, in a variety of different locations in my garden, but only in one spot have they done at all well -- and even there they don't *thrive*. Most of the others simply disappeared after a while. Why that one spot works and other don't, I do not know. I consider it a temperamental and troublesome plant. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
