Dear all; Thasnks for the comments on hardiness. Pewrhaps there is hope for those sacrificial bulbs now in the ground since spring and looking good. I'll report in spring. I don't think they are planted 6 inches deep, but does Eucomis move to its own depth? Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
