I have been growing some Pancratium maritimum in a five gallon pot . I am ashamed to say I haven't taken really good care of them. Purchased 21 and I counted 18 when I went out side a few minutes ago to see if they had survived our 17 degree weather this past winter (yeah, I know, it's not over yet!!) But they have bloomed for me ever since I planted them,which I believe was 3 years ago, even with the neglect I gave them. They are growing in ordinary garden soil that you can purchase at a "dirt yard" and they weren't protected against the 17 degree weather except for the fallen oak leaves that fell in the nursery pot they reside in. I'm on the edge of zone 8b/9a, so I've a different set of circumstances down that you guys who live farther north.
