Tips to grow	It has a reputation as a shy bloomer and many have trouble getting regular flowering. However flowering is a challenge, not impossibility and they are superb, large, fragrant lemon-peel yellow trumpets held on long tubes. Chlidanthus really need frost-free or glasshouse cultivation to thrive. Good rich soil, free-draining but moisture retentive. Good feeding will build size and good vigorous growth and bulb size, means good future flowers. If you grow them well, then you can expect several to each bulb. As the leaves yellow in autumn a pinch of Potassium Sulphate will help initiate flower buds. Gradually dry the bulbs off. Store overwinter in a dry, frost-free place, re-start in spring in fresh fertile compost. High temperatures at the root will make them produce offsets at the expense of individual size. Thus in pots they are best plunged or shaded, mulching will help and the potting mix of peat, Loam and leaf mold will do the job
Other Details	Chlidanthus Tender bulbs from tropical South America, mostly natives to the Andes. The plants have large spherical bulbs with gray-green, strap-shaped leaves 30cm long arising from the base. In late spring to early summer, clusters of 3-4 large, strong citrus-scented fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers 10-13cm long held terminally on stalks 25cm high, blossom in the evening, colored in yellow, pink or red.

Unable to make them bloom in last 2 years, they do not go dormant in winter in lahore. They give many offsets. They are easy to grow though. Pindi is a bit colder than lahore so they might bloom there.

If you can spare a couple of offsets I would love to try.

I planted few last year in Wah Cantt, so far they didn't bloomed for me too, if I m not wrong Hamad AK informed (when we were compiling our list) that his friend is growing them successfully and they bloomed for him (Hamad AK could you ask him for his secret ) but you could also try some tips like Potassium Sulphate as mentioned in the entry with full am sun and you could also force them to go dormant in fall, dig them up store them over winter and plant them in next Spring this may help, and as your bulbs multiplied you could experiment on few big size bulbs (flowering size bulbs) and see if it helps.

And the reason I put its Difficulty as Hard, because its hard to make it bloom but easy to grow.
