Galanthus peshmenii hardiness
John T Lonsdale (Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:09:22 PDT)

In writing this I acknowledge, at least temporarily and for the purposes of
this message, that there could be two different snowdrops.

Galanthus reginae-olgae does fine outside here, flowering and building up
slowly. I have several accessions of Galanthus peshmenii that have been in
pots for the past few years because I heard that it might be more tender
than G. r-o. Is there any basis to this purported lack of hardiness or am I
safe planting them outside?

I also have several pots of Scilla vincentina - it does just fine but I'd
love to get it into the garden. Is it likely to survive here? I don't mind
burned leaves as long as it flowers OK.

Many thanks,

John
