Steve, I grew mine in the sandhills of Florida, SW of Gainesville where freezing temps were not uncommon. 1994 they bloomed well, 1st yr. 2nd yr 2/10 flowered, 3rd 2/10 came up the next we left to move in town, but none even seemed to remain. I can see how one becomes smitten by these. Raise your beds if you do. Kevin D.

I have placed it in my "dry" garden with the best drainage I can provide it. It has already put out its first bloom for me. I just want to see it again next year bigger and better. I'm also considering planting much more of it in less ideal locations. > > > Steve > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php >
