You say nothing about your local conditions.

if they are the winter dormant form sow in spring in pure coarse sand in a deep
pot with very good drainage holes. Once germination takes place move gradually
to full sun (they grow in full sun). Careful with the waterings. The worst
period is the first dormancy but seedlings are apt to keep on growing the first
and second season with no dormancy inbetween. On the other hand once mature will
live and flower for many years.

In summary, hot desert warm season bulb (there is a winter growing form in
cultivation). Bulbs very deep in the soil, large, offsetting slowly. Dry winter
dormant for a long season.

Good luck
