Do they live there over the winter?

No as the greenhouse is unheated & therefore not frost proof. These bulbs need to be kept in frost proof place over winter.

I took the bulbs down in June after all possible frosts had passed. By that time they had almost all finished flowering.

The 4 or 5 plants in the GH are bulbs that didn't flower at home, I'll be putting them back outside as soon as the last one has finished. At the present moment it is still in flower. :-))
