rainlilies, pots, grasshoppers

Hi Joe,
this is not quite true. I grow mine in small pots and they do well here. I
keep them wet all winter and every year they multiply and flower well. We
get fairly wet winters although mild - not many frosts.

Mine are all in pots, which several people such as Alberto Castillo, will
tell you isn't the best way to grow them unless you grow them in very
large
pots (5 gal. or larger)
