They don't like being moved and they like the sun and good drainage.

Tulip: You're a flowerpot! Why move them? Having said that, I'm suprised that you didn't get ANYTHING from them. Tell you what, pop over to Belgium, you can have some of mine. (Maybe a Donka Leffe too....boom, boom....)

Some of mine were pulled out by birds - little blighters. But I stuck them back in and they eventually started to grow. I did water them quite a lot as the ground seemed to dry out on the top quite quickly.

My spring sown ones look rather sorry for themselves. I did notice a Kelsae one starting to bulb up - tis about the size of a set!
