thanks.
from looking online, I think it is more common, probably better, to buy the bulb.
I think this nursery is selling this plant in flower, for people like me, that are not familiar with it. lol. I took the bait. But it is ok, it is beautiful.

I remembered why I don't do bulbs -
is it true that we must leave the foliage after blooming, as that is when the plant is gathering nutrients?
that is what I read somewhere.
that we can't cut the foliage even when it is brown and ugly.

Is that true for this plant?

of so, then I must plant something in front of it which will bloom later in the season.
