It grows from a bulb and takes about four years to flower. It is always worth waiting for.

It likes to be in semi shade. We are in Glasgow Amy and it grows well here. I have had them for about ten years. Hope yours is as successful MS.

I am hoping to have some bulbs under this plant. They need to mature first. If I do I will share them with you.

No need, but thanks anyway!
You do realise that the bulbs are monocarpic?

I have read my mail in the wrong order. The offer is still there Meanie if you change your mind. The plant dies Meanie, but if you wait, as I am doing, it leaves bulbs that can be split up for new plants. They take about four years to mature, but I have them at different stages.
