Has anyone grown African Voodoo Lily?

I bought 10 Voodoo Lily bulbs on ebay. No instructions.

Online 1 place says full sun but several places say this plant is a shade lover. I have a very shady place with lots of trees nothing will grow there because of the shade that is why I bought voodoo lily.

Online says, rich well drained soil. Dig the bulbs up bring them inside keep them dry for the winter then plants them again in the summer. Plant and bulb do not like temperatures below 50 Deg F.

The bulbs grow a nice green bushy plant that makes a nice large purple flower. It looks like a nice plant. I am thinking about making a raised bed for the voodoo lily.

I was wondering if anyone has experiece with this plant???

WHY IS THERE NO EDIT OPTION???????????????

How much space do these plants need?

I am wondering if 1 foot apart will work?
