My RHS book says "dry off after the topgrowth has died down in the winter". I take this to mean that you need to dig up the bulbs and let them dry off, then store them for winter somewhere. Or you could just stick them in the greenhouse for the winter, still in their pot? They're only half hardy, don't like temperatures lower than 15 degrees C
