For what it's worth, I have the same problem often when I
grow them in pots but you can't stop them from blooming and
expanding in the ground: a well draining soil with little
summer water in full sun (here in Berkeley which may be your
shade).

As I was sorting through the bulbs, I found a container of
Ferraria crispa that I got from the BX several years ago.
It has never bloomed, but keeps throwing off bulbs. I
have had it in a ten inch wide and deep container and
treat it like the other tender bulbs.(feed once lightly
and start water when leaves show; water it modearatly
until they die back, let it dry in summer.
Are there other tricks to make it perform? Marguerite
