But of course since it is one of the favorites, it can't possibly easily multiply like lesser-loved cultivars do. I've tried everything: moving it around to different locations in the gardens in the hopes that I will hit upon the best growing conditions. It's current location is a "plant it and forget it" location on the south side of the house. This bed is somewhat protected from the nasty northern winter winds, and on a slightly sloping ground to mitigate the feared wet soil fungii and water molds attacking the bulbs. Didn't help. Today I still have about the same number of bulbs as I planted several years ago.
Looks like I might be resigned to opening the wallet to bring in some brothers and sisters to keep these company next year.
