Hi John, I've been growing Rhodea japonica outside for a number of years in a well-protected, shady place, and the darn thing keeps growing (not my most exciting plant). I should think that might be a solution, particularly down there.

They are great mature plants but I dont have the room to keep everything Ive ever selected and potting up last years selections has pushed these into retirement. Anyone who can stop by our house/garden is welcome to them all. You have to take them all though no cherry-picking. Not exactly bulbous but in a fit of enthusiasm I sowed a ton of seed of Rhodea japonica from variegated selections a couple of years ago. Over 100 progeny are now in individual 3 ½ pots and although theres not a hint of variegation in sight there is interesting variation in leaf form/length/width. Anyone want them? Ill plant a few but the rest are taking up space that wont be available in a couple of weeks. If the variegation shows up in the third season then you will make out like a bandit! Thanks, J.
