I love them. Bought 2 last late fall. They bloomed well before Christmas. I put mine outside in the spring, and sometimes they have bloomed outside in September. Just have to remember to bring them back inside. Course, they won't bloom for quite a while after that.

I have 3, this one has been going for the last 4 years.

Yup, I throw them outside for the summer, add some compost, bring them in in the fall and let them dry out and die back and wait for the bud, then water and put in a sunny window. They never disappoint!

I have 3. I don't put them outside because of the rodents. I put about 1 handful of triple mix in the pots with mine last year because the bulbs were getting small. They grew long leaves and the bulbs got bigger, but they are starting to go dormant now instead of blooming.

Don’t worry they’ll come back, mine are much slower this year than last, they started in December the year before.
All the best things are worth waiting for!
