Pancratium maritimum

Several years ago, at least 14, I planted a couple of bulbs in a large
pot. I purchased them in a bag from a rack in a store, not even a nursery. I
lived in Southern CA at the time, right on the beach. They did fine. I
moved to Northern CA and they are still in the same pot, very different
climate. They bloom every year and every year, when they bloom I think I need
to repot those when they are finished. Then they fade away and I still
haven't repotted. I'm almost afraid to. They get no special attention, they
are out back in dappled light, winter rains, hose spraying when I water in
the summer. I get 2-4 blooms every year. I do think they would increase
and I'd get more blooms if I repot in new soil and fertilize - or I'd lose
them.
