Unfortunately while Ruby will bulk up in pots and is therefore easy to
produce it does not in the garden behave like the fabulous papilio which as
you know spreads rapidly but rather forms many small corms which then either
die or take years to reach flowering size, I have tried twice now to get it
to grow in an area papilio does well but it has disappeared on both
occasions.

Not 'arf and people will buy it in droves not realising it won't be any
good in the garden!
