Dear all: Pancratiums are indeed fascinating plants. I have learnt from Angelo that the bulbs must be surprisingly deep in the container (or soil). P. canariense is extremely easy and dependable and has beautiful bluish foliage. P. parviflorum I have grown fro many years as Vagaria parviflora and it was extremely easy to flower year after year. Cultivation was in big pots with drained alklaine soil ina Mediterranean cycle. The foliage was strkingly similar to that of Lycoris radiata but broader. Gorgeous plant and it increases rapidly by offsets. It never produced any seed.
