Hi Uli, I agree with all that have already commented on this. Calochortus are very long lived and should do very well for you. For me here in the wet Pacific Northwest of the US I am following advice that Mary Sue Itner gave some time back to delay planting until January due to our wetter conditions. I have seed from several species I had intended to plant last year, but as we had an extremely wet winter, the wettest on record, I held off and will be planting them next month. <https://avast.com/sig-email/…> Virus-free. http://www.avast.com/ <https://avast.com/sig-email/…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Fri, Dec 1, 2017 at 2:46 AM, Johannes Ulrich Urban < johannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de> wrote: > Dear All, > > > Having sown Calochortus seed for the very first time in my life, I wonder > how long lived it is.
