They're probably best started off in pots. Grow them on for two years, and you should end up with full-size bulbs, though I haven't tried it for myself.

Why not have a look at this page from my website, which includes information on growing the bulbils:-http://www.growyourown.info/page145.html
For some reason, it does not always work.

Good website Realfood! I have definitely done something wrong as mine were smaller than the cloves I bought in Wilko to put in the ground.
