Dell Sherk a *crit :
Did I read correctly that some Moraeas
grow at a depth of 30-40 cm? That would be below the freeze line here. I
guess since they are winter growers it wouldn't work, but I wonder if they
could have their seasons switched to bloom in spring/summer here is USDA zone 6.
Dear Dell,
In Holland they cultivate wintergrowing Moraeas during their
relatively cool summers. But they have to lift the corms every year in
Novembre to store them during their dormancy at 26-30° and replant in
the spring. Storing them in to ground would not work as it is too cool.
