I have found that mine like water but don't like to be wet, so good draining soil is the order of the day. I am fortunate that my local GC has good soil since most of my yard is rock and clay so I dig a big hole so that the corm is 12" or so down with 2-3" of good soil under it and then fill that hole with good soil. In the early spring I top dress with mushroom manure and feed miracle gro once a week or so.

Your depth will vary on your location (freeze depth), but I have found that good soil and feeding and they will take off.
