Here's are two pages with some basic planting info:

I'm pretty new to them, but I know that unless you live in Zone 8 or above, you have to dig them up every fall and replant them in the spring, like a dahlia or a gladiolus. I haven't seen the corms sold anywhere online, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

I've seen pictures of them in pink and white, but my local nursery only had them in yellow. They're especially gorgeous in pink! I've heard that some people on the West Coast have found them for sale at Home Depot. I don't know if they're becoming more common in other places, or if they were just a lucky find.
