I would see two potentially serious problems with growing many Cape bulbs in Louisiana: 1. Excessive precipitation 2. High night-time temperatures in summer That said, Crinum bulbispermum appears to absolutely love to grow in Louisiana. Many Cape bulbs should do well there, but those sensitive to moisture in their dormant season probably will not.
