I have some corms of these. Do they need soaking or do they go straight
into
the ground? They look
very dormant.

Best to soak for at least 24 hours in tepid water,,,,,,,,,but I never seem
to
have much luck with them :~(

I would plant them in pots, keep just moist under a greenhouse bench untill
showing then plant out the pot fulls in the spring. The reason you have
problems is they should be well rooted by the time they sell them so if you
put them straight out they rot. The white form White splendour is bigger and
easier.
