Haemanthus Hardiness
Adam Fikso (Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:21:02 PST)

I've killed a few Haemanthus coccineus at 0° buried 6-8 "down, no mulch, no
cover. I haven't tried them closer in to the house. Chicago area,
northwest side USDA 5a in Glenview

I would think they could take that easily. The bulbs are completely
buried, I take it? Had they bloomed before they were plants in the ground?

Thanks for the note. When did you plant them?

Late fall of 2009. Lows so far, 13F, minimal ground frost, just a couple
of brief snow events.
