Just picked up three plants at the garden center (obvously I have no more patience...) - they are amazing! I think you wiil be extremely pleased when yours come up. It's my understanding that I will have to lift the bulbs before frost, is this right?

Sid, I have this plant in the woodland garden with hostas and taller plants, so I'm really pleased that it's becoming a nice spring ground cover. It doesn't last very long here. By summer it's completely faded away.

Just bought 3 plants from New Hopetoun gardens near Edinburgh this weekend - I've planted them under our establishing deciduous British native hedge - hoping they will spread and form a carpet.

I'd say take the leaves off - for three reasons.
Firstly, if left in situ they will take nitrogen form the soil as they rot down, depriving the plants of it.
Secondly, all sorts of 'nasties' will hide under the leaves (slugs for example)
Thirdly, wet leaves against stems will cause rots to set in
