Lycoris in sun or shade

Jim:

Not being much of a chef, and one who is never allowed near the oven, I
should have distinguished between dry baking and evenly moist baking.
We have our best luck cooking lycoris with evenly moist baking. Our
trials have also shown that dry soil reduces flowering, therefore we
irrigate regularly in our sunny areas. Since the foliage only comes up
in fall and is mostly gone by summer, plantings in our full sun rock
garden have produced the most vigorous and floriferous plants for us.
