Well, would *you* blooom if you were cooped up in a protected cold frame?
[At this moment, I have a vision of Jim in a tutu performing "Dance of the

Plant it out.
I've got a few clumps of I. lazica scattered around the place, and afaict
they're bone hardy. They don't need the same sunny baking that I. unguicularis
seems to prefer.
