It is true!
The few Lycoris that can be grown here bloom once every few years in zone 9,
St. Petersburg, FL. Unfortunately. But those years they bloom I am glad I
keep em around.

I have heard it rumored that most of the spring foliage Lycoris have
difficulty blooming in zone 9. I don't know if it is true or not. Of
course, I believe that the zone ranges offered in catalogs are more
related to survivability, hardiness, than bloom consistency.
Here in zone 6, I have been experiencing about two seasons for recovery
of transplanted Lycoris (from dormant trade stock).
