I've grown these for a while.. they're very easy to propogate and build-up a population. They'll even naturalise in the garden (at least in East Anglia). I used to shelter them indoors overwinter.. but be very wary of keeping them in a heated room and letting a mature bulb flower indoors.. it's something you'll only do once!!!

I leave mine in the garden all Winter and every year about (5 or 6) it reappears each year.
