I grew it indoors in a pot once. It grew and flowered successfully, but I didn't find the scent very attractive.
I tried to grow it last summer, started it off indoors then put on south facing patio in sheltered spot, grew a few leaves then died, very disappointed
I tried. The moment a shoot appeared the slugs were on it. They seemed to come from miles around, in legions. I tried and tried to protect it and it tried and tried to grow but we were overwhelmed. It is no more.
i wanted it for the fragrance, maybe I should have kept it indoors
I grew it last year but it took ages for one to form a bud and it never opened. I'm leaving them in the pot this year to see if I have any better results, if not then they are for the compost bin.
I grew them indoors and the scent was wonderful. I kept the bulbs for 2 or 3 more years but they never flowered again despite lots of tlc. Plenty of leaves but that was it. Even repotted half of them and added high-potash feed.. Grow them on a very sunny windowsill or in a conservatory, enjoy for that year and then chuck 'em away is my advice.
It is coming back to me now. After mine flowered I threw them away because they don't flower again, at least not for some time. so it is better to get fresh bulbs.
