They should be planted in a sunny location that has good drainage. The 
bulb or rhizome should be planted just under the surface, not too deep. The 
roots should be spread out and the soil packed around them. 
Bone-meal and ground limestone are good fertilizers. The best time for 
planting is July and August.
