Mike, You are pshing their limits in the Finger lakes, but in a protected spot and mulched they might do OK. They do not need full sun, but under deciduous trees they get winter sun on foliage that is enough. They generally do not flower well in pots, but can suceed in large tubs in a cool GH. Best of luck.

I'm going to treat the bulbs as if they are Lycoris radiata until I can confirm the ID with some blooms (hopefully). I don't think I can safely grow them outside. Our average winter temperature may put us in Zone 6a, but we usually have a week or more of sub- or near-zero temperatures every month over the winter. Especially when the Polar Vortex starts roaming. Paul, the Nerine site looks interesting. I will be visiting it often, I'm sure. Mike Zone 6A, Finger Lakes area, where we went from near-zero on Friday to a record-breaking 63 degrees yesterday. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Dr. James Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd Kansas City, MO 64152-2711 USA Phone 816-746-1949 _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
