Naw, that's actually what the instructions are and that's what I did previous years and with the second planting this year. First year I got some germination but they were miniscule when I decided to take them over to my son's and tipped them over on the way over there and couldn't find but one of them! I was so disappointed. But I did plant the one and it didn't do much of anything where it was so I moved it to the garden so I wouldn't forget about it (since I'm in the garden more) but at that time our chickens were VERY free range (all over the place) so they dug it up! I was not happy! They broke off the top but I put the little bulb back into the ground (that was last fall) and marked it and had the chickens incarcerated since.
I am so tempted to dig where it is and see if it's doing anything, but so far I have resisted! I think it may come back. I hope it does. But in the meantime, I now have this new variety I got from CL and now, so far from seed this year, three more! I'm pretty happy about that. Now if I can get them to blossom.
