Here's a pic of the boxes we put them in. They are about 16"x24", wire mesh bottoms. We stack them with 3/4" spacers between boxes. Store at about 35º, with air movement. Last year we used a friends walk in cooler in an unheated building. We put a small electric heater set very low & a small fan running all the time. The corms looked just like they did in the fall.
We took the tiny bulbets and just poured them in trench. They grew thick as grass. Some even bloomed!
The ones from 2 years ago almost all bloomed. We have not dug them yet so I don't know how big they got.
