Cypella peruviana (aka Hesperoxiphion peruvianum) has been completely
hardy here through a wet and cold 8 degrees F for several years.

Dear All,
I just wanted to mention that #2, Cypella peruviana is a synonym for #4 I
donated in the last BX:
"Hesperoxiphion peruvianum--S for me, this one blooms and blooms if you
dead head it and has amazing large yellow flowers"
I'd be really interested in learning if this one grows in the winter for
Catherine as she is from a much colder climate than I am. Maybe the seeds
are short lived and need to be sown now and that is what W means? Mine
definitely is dormant in winter. Bill Dijk grows an orange one that is
spectacular. (see the wiki page)
Any idea what color Catherine's plants were?
