How to plant and grow.
• Almost fill an 8cm (3in) pot with moist bulb fibre, and then push a bulb in gently to half its depth. If you have sensitive skin, wear washing up gloves when handling the bulbs as they release tiny, needle-shape crystals, which can irritate the skin.
• Put pots in a cool, dark place, such as a garage or shed for about ten weeks to allow the roots to grow. If you are growing more than one variety, label with its name or colour to prevent mixing different shades together.
• Check bulbs regularly and water if the compost feels dry.
• When shoots appear, wait until they are about 5cm (2in) high and arrange the three pots in an 18cm (7in) bowl.
• Fill the gaps with more bulb fibre and place in a light spot to flower.
