It would need to be a large container, the larger the better. And yes they
love manure, plant directly into well rotted manure and watch it go. hence
the large containers obviously.

I dont think it's actually bulbs you've got, but what we call crowns in UK,
I don't know about US, but anyway let's not fall out over terminology.
