Zantdeschia hardiness

I have two Zantedeschia in the ground outdoors year round -- and as for the
Hymenocallis liriosme, these are very close to my greenhouse walls. One of
them, Z. 'Green Goddess', survives right up against the wall, but does not
bloom.

Dear Friends,
I suspect Jim S and I have similar climates. I grew Z "Green
Goddess' for a number of year- with flowering in light shade. It
eventually dwindle -I think after some severe weather, but I am not a
few of big green flowers so didn't fuss over.
Years ago I live in the middle of Kansas City and had Z.
albomaculata planted near a concrete sidewalk and if bloomed for
years there. I suspect the concrete slab was a heat sink that helped
it thorugh long cold winters.
In my current drier 'Prairie' garden I can't seem to grow and
of the colorful Z hybrids as I wish I could.
Can't grow everything. Jim W.
