How deep can hippeastrums be planted? I always thought the noses needed to be not too far below the surface, but if not maybe I will try some against a wall. This year both Scilla peruviana and Amaryllis belladonna (not planted especially deep) grew more foliage than last year because we had such a late start to winter and then had the foliage liquified by severe frost right after the New Year and again last week. Also destroyed advancing flowers on Narcissus Rijnvelds Early Sensation in the same location. All will likely survive, the Amaryllis belladonna will regrow more foliage come better weather, the scilla maybe not as much. Narcissus will be fine but no flowers this year, and ones planted in my home garden this fall arent very far up yet. Ernie in NY Z 6/7, where snowflakes may be turning to raindrops as I write. Galanthus, early crocus, and eranthis are up.
