Dear Mary Sue, Liz, Arnold et al; Combining Mary Sue's Pic of the underground parts, and Arnold's info on its extensive range, it seems there is a good chance that Pasithea might be fairly hardy. Very tempting. It looks like it does go totally dormant in winter, too, like Anthericum. I see it is available from 'Annie's Annuals' near San Francisco (Richmond CA). Thanks for all the input.
