I received 3 bulbs, and planted them in 3 different places. All are well mulched.
1 - clay based but well drained rich soil, full sun until late afternoon. pH neutral.
2 - raised bed, 1 part sand/2 parts compost. part sun. pH ~6.8
3 - clay based but well drained rich soil. part sun. pH ~6.5

#1 did the worst. I did not even allow it to flower.
So far, #2 and #3 seem to be about the same, health wise.

Aftrican Lady, also from Faraway flowers. Blooms are HUGE!
