Hi Matt,
Single corms in 5-6 inch diameter pots (deep style) planted 1 inch below
the surface in our bulb mix (3b+perlite+pine bark chips or expanded shale)
but the best specimen (dark form) is in a concrete block on the greenhouse
floor in nondescript recycled mix.  I can send you a picture pf a blooming
size corm if you want.  A one inch corm will grow to over 2 inches in two
years and then bloom it's head off.   Freddi loves this flower.

Best,
