I also thought "shade" was odd.
By the way, most bulbs like to have very good drainage, to prevent rotting. I would make sure that your potting mix drains well and holds more air than water. You might have to add coarse Perlite or grit or medium bark shreds to "open it up" and help it drain faster.
I assumed these were "bulbs to plant in fall and bloom in spring". But "hemispheres matter".
And when DO you plant spring bulbs, if there is no winter?
