Dear Mr. Biasella,

I am interested in your prolific Ismene. They grow very well here in Arizona, but it's always a challenge to obtain bulbs that will actually grow here (as opposed to tulips, hyacinths, crocuses).
Please save me a few when they go dormant.

Thank you.

I have been growing Ismene in the open garden in Cambridge (Boston) MA for
many, many years.
I should try to remember to offer them to the BX next year, but I think
they're so common that no one would really care for them. I usually end up
giving them to anyone who wants them or toss them out because there are so
many.
They're in growth now but If anybody wants some next year, please let me
know privately and I'll be glad to send you some.
