Joe: I only have Lycoris aurea var. aurea and L. aurea var. surgens. The former sets seed. The latter has been sterile to this point. The latter is very vigorous; larger leaf and taller stalk. The former is finishing up on bloom and surgens is just now sending up stalks. I protect my aurea collection with plastic cover and minimal heat to keep temperatures from getting too much below freezing. I've seen surgens tolerate temperatures well below 20°F, but there was no significant frost, either. This occurred in a covered house where the pilot went out on the heater. The leaves just can't handle the frost, in my opinion. Unfortunately, in the open environment, sub-freezing weather and frost seem to go hand-in-hand. Mr. Kelly M.
