Rhodohypoxis

Jim:

I've only tried a few potted samples of these. I found them very
charming. My understanding is that they are not supposed to do well
colder than zone 8, so I've not tried to do much with them except pot up
to get photos, but I'd like to be told I'm wrong. For you to have them
last a couple seasons in zone 5, I'd say the proof could already be in
the making. I offered these this spring and had some orders, but they
are not usually a big ticket item for customers. Makes me wonder if they
are difficult to grow.

Dear Friends,
I notice that the a Dutch export catalog lists 28 or so
different spec., ssp and named cvs of the genus, Rhodohypoxis.

I have tried a few outdoors in a protected spot and had
plants last a year or two, but found it more difficult to keep in
pots in a cool greenhouse where it should be much happier.
