You gotta do what you gotta do. If that means some might have to dig and store to make things work, then that's what they need to do. I do think this hybrid likes a constantly moist soil with a low pH that's very highly organic and cool soil temperatures. Above ground should environment should be a cool location with dappled shade away from direct hot sun.
There may be a difference with hardiness between clone runs also. When I heard some people were having difficulty, I ordered 3 bulbs of a recent run and planted them in a mixed garden with lots of sunlight last Spring. They were given average care the same as everything else and I will say this, they struggled. So we'll see how these do next year.
Meanwhile, the early hand clone one I received initially that did so well in the abandoned compost pile has been re-planted back into the abandoned compost pile. Which has now grown to 4 bulbs and 5 bulblets.
