I have not yet grown Lycoris x squamigera in California, nor have I ever seen them growing anywhere in California. I was trying to list/propose the very few limited options available for managing winter temperatures when one needs more vernalization than is naturally available. Very helpful to know that you have seen no effect of planting depth on flowering of your Lycoris x sqamigera. Do you mulch the bulbs in winter or keep the ground completely exposed? Nathan
