Oh yes, snail mail
address for 1,2 or 3 shares of Crinum bulbispermum seed.
Actually if it is $2.00 per share send me 5
shares.
My address is:
Joey Russell
P.O. Box 282
Grenada, California 96038
OR
9112 Gamma
Lane
Montague, California 96064 (Physical
address)
I don't know
whether seeds would be happier in a possibly hot mailbox for
a
while (no more than a day) or a cool post
office!

Dear Joey,
Congratulations on
joining the world of the PBS BX.
Crinum
bulbispermum should be reliably
hardy for
you, but here’s a few beginner hints. Keep the
pots of seedlings protected some from climate
extremes and
well watered. I usually bring
the seedling pot indoors and
away from
freezing for the first winter. In spring plant
them out where they get full sun and plenty of
room. This
selection gets to almost 4 ft
tall here and wider than that.
Keep well
watered their first year of whenever they seem
stressed. Once established they are very
drought tolerant
-having been through 2
years of extreme drought here in
’12 and
’13. They do appreciate extra water, but are
very tolerant of heat, sun and drought.
Mine grow in fine grained clay
soil, but
I do mulch and add compost around
the base to retain some
moisture.
Your
raised beds sound excellent. We
have strong winds
here too -not a problem.
Wishing you good luck and wild
success, then
on to even more varieties of these fascinating
Crinums.
Perhaps
some other Northern CA
members can share their experiences
with
Crinum.
Ordering is very simple. Read Dell’s
instructions and send
him an email direct
to ds429@frontier.com
Include "BX 365" in the subject line
and list your
requests. Dell will confirm
your order and send them ASAP
with a bill to
PBS. Prices are VERY reasonable and listed
some where on the PBS site. Would
some one send
this info to Joey and
prospective other new members ?
Dell is very easy to
communicate with about BX orders and Arnold
keeps track of
the Treasury so it is very
easy to know where your order and
payments
stand. You’ll find it so easy and the BX lists so
tempting you may start something !
Hope you have
success and enjoyment from
these seeds.
Best Jim W.

Hello
James,
This will be my first time ordering
seeds
(bulbs) through PBS and I would like
to try your Crinum
seeds.
Any suggestions for success?
How do I
place my order.
I have my $5.00 off coupon
for my first BX order that I will
mail with
my payment!
Sincerely,
Joey
Russell
-
10. Crinum
bulbispermum, Jumbo strain This
selection
has been reliably hardy in my Zone 5/6 garden for
over a decade without protection. Winters are
routinely
below 0 F.
Directions for planting success.
Press the large seeds into your planting mix,
do not
cover.
In colder
climates such as mine the
seedlings need
extra winter protection for the 1st and 2nd
winter.
Grow in full sun. Plant
appreciate
extra water and good drainage.
Over all easy to grow and
long lived.
Enjoy.
