| Hi Dan, I tried this species a few years ago, and its not one of the easiest to grow. It requires perfect drainage in a slightly acidic soil, and is very sensitive to rotting, but also to drying out, so you have to get it "just right". it enjoys half shady, woodland type conditions. In winter it likes being covered in snow, which keeps it on the "dry side" they usually cost a fortune when you do find them. My bulb (which i have now lost) cost me £ 20 at the time, which is about $40! Pontus |
