Joe:

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).

Hi,

I have Lycoris sprengeri in the yard. It has been there 2 years and grows
well. The first fall there was only a single scape among a dozen or more bulbs.
