Know before you buy
No, these are 'no-chill' bulbs. They are ready to plant immediately upon arrival and do not require any cold treatment to bloom.
You can expect blooms to appear within 30 to 45 days after planting. Planting in succession every few weeks will provide a continuous display of flowers throughout the season.
These bulbs are only hardy outdoors in USDA zones 8–10. If you live in a colder region, they should be grown exclusively as indoor houseplants.
The 17+ cm measurement refers to the circumference of the bulb. Larger bulbs, like these, contain more stored energy, which results in more robust stems and a higher number of florets per bloom.
While they are very easy to force, they perform best in a bright, sunny location. Placing them near a window with plenty of natural light will help prevent the stems from becoming too leggy.
