I am no expert, this is my 2nd try. First time I bought Walmart corms, they just got soft, never did grow. Then the 2nd time I got the corms from last years co-op on DG. They grew great in pots, I had them on my front porch under cover that I had to water. I saved corms from them to over winter but I emptied the pots and am storing them in newspaper in a paper bag in the basement. The pot on the deck steps which got rain water grew great, but when I emptied that pot the corms were mushy, this was after a lite freeze and some rain.
I hope they have the co-op again next spring so I can add to my "hope they survive" ones.
Didn't get many pictures, but this is one on the porch.
