JC, I have planted them many times - and the petals are so soft and fragile and always produce a beautiful full bloom!
Check this out - I think you can grow them there in TN:

Thank you for this great site! I bookmarked quickly and am going to try to find some of those. I did read if you planted them in the spring, they would bloom late summer. Guess its better to put the bulbs in the pots or wherever in the fall as I was reading so they’ll be ready to bloom in the spring!
Thanks much!!
