    It happens that sometimes a bulb gets damaged in shipping and cannot form a bloom the first year. It should bloom for you in the future, perhaps even this summer. This article will help:

    Once the foliage dies back is the best time, but they can take being separated while they still have foilage.

    You can dig them up at the beginning of fall. Clean them off, separate them and then store in a cool dry place for a few months. Then replant and they should come back beautifully.

    After they have bloomed, you can separate the pup bulbs from the mother bulb and repot them each in their own pot or store them for planting out later.

    As far as placing it in new soil, that is fine, but keep it in the same size pot. They bloom better in a crowded pot.

    They will survive year round outside in Zones 7 or higher, so if you are in Zone 7 or higher, it will grow and bloom every year if you leave it in the ground. If you are in Zone 7, I would recommend mulching it in the winter, just in case you get a cold winter. Any zones lower than this require digging up.
