They usually sprout here in the fall but sometimes stay in leaf until midsummer. I know people in the Midwest of the USA who treat them as summer bulbs. I have never noticed a predictable association between color and scent, and sometimes doubles can be at least as fragrant as singles. They commercial hybrids don't seem to mind overnight snaps into the mid teens F / -7C so long as it warms up the next day. Your greenhouse could be kept cooler for the sake of your winter bulbs, but you might have other plants in there. If you have a nice deep pot you can plant them almost side by side, at least 10 to a standard "1-gallon" nursery pot, even more if you plant them in two or three layers. I like to plant largish winter containers (24" / 60cm across) with layers of thickly-planted bulbs, and winter annuals (flowers and vegetables) on top. Something in the container looks good all winter. I might suggest tazetta Narcissus as the bottom layer, then Freesia above those, then Ranunculus or Anemone above those, then the annuals. Select from alyssum, blue trailing lobelia (L. erinus), carnation (Dianthus), stock (Matthiola), flowering tobacco (Nicotiana), arrugula, radishes, Swiss chard, beets, carrots, Chinese chives, fennel, different colored lettuces, and mizuna. The lobelia and Nicotiana are the tenderest plants I mentioned; the others take stiff overnight frosts. If your container will never get frost add Salvia elegans, pineapple sage, with a mouth-watering fragrance and spikes of cardinal red flowers most of the winter. It comes from cloud-forest elevations in Mexico so it does well in cool surroundings. It roots easily in soil or water. I mentioned a lot of bulbs to keep the list police at bay.
