Hi Bob, I like near Indianapolis, and also grow Crinum, Zephyranthes, and Cyrtanthus. Winter these in pots inside my greenhouse, and both summer-growing Crinum and summer-growing Cyrtanthus do just fine with no water in winter. Zephyranthes vary. Most would do better with some water in winter, but all need some sort of annual dry period in their lives Zephyranthes atamasco and its close geographic and genetic relatives need water starting in about January or February, since they tend to grow in late winter. Stop by and see my bulbs sometime!
