Hi Ellen,
I plant them out in late spring or early summer, then water and feed like
crazy. Once you decide to dig them up, be prepared to dig deeply, just as
for x-powellii -- probably at least 15 inches down to the basal plate.

Jim, I had no idea C. bulbispermum might be hardy here. When do you find
is the best season to set it out? I have a few here, and I didn't know
what I was going to do with them...but now I do!
