Hymenocallis woelfleana advice needed
J.E. Shields (Mon, 03 Jul 2006 15:15:37 PDT)

I have a small -- very small! -- bulb of Hymenocallis woelfleana. It is
starting to leaf out just now. It does not seem to get any bigger, and
every spring I fear that I am going to lose it.

I am currently growing it in a 1-gal. plastic container, outdoors, under
dappled shade. In winter, it is kept quite dry and in the cool greenhouse,
temperatures never quite dropping to 32°F (0°C). It tends to hold it leaves
until very early spring, when they yellow off.

Does anyone grow this successfully in cultivation? How should this species
be grown?
