John:

We only turn the irrigation on in this region in the summer months when
it gets very dry...say, no rain in 7-10 days, but it gets all natural
rainfall, which could easily be 6-8" in big storm. Moisture has not
proven to be a problem with Nothoscordum sellowianum.

below 8 degrees F since we have grown it."

Tony - how much moisture will this location have in summer?

Thanks,

John
