I planted a pack of 30 bulbs many years ago. They bloom early and faithfully. I love to see them but my one complaint is that the weather is so changeable that early, many years they get ruined or overlooked during a cold wet spell. They need a little warm sun to look good. I think a sheltered but sunny location may be best. They have multiplied gradually around the initial planting.
