I love taking pics of the Peruvian Daffodil, their bloom is from outer space. I've been growing them for at least a dozen years in containers, big containers. The containers are situated on concrete every summer, usually in mid to late May. Thereat they happily grow. In late September, they are moved to the garage and kept dry, In October, any foliage left is removed, and the pots are moved into the basement (having an outside covered stairwell to basement really facilitates this maneuver because these containers are really big packing some weight despite styrofoam peanuts in the bottom). Last year we used a portable dolly to lessen the strain.when transferring the containers. In the basement they are stored on big shelfs in a dark corner. No water is administered till spring. There are a several containers, so they take yearly turns before re-potting; one might stay in the same container 3 years. Temperature down there remains a fairly constant around 60°F.
Here's a couple of pics of mine -

I hope your's does well and gives you many happy returns.
