Hi Jane, It’s the summer, not the winter, that I think might be a bit much. But maybe H. non-scripta is more heat tolerant than I think. Any southerners grow it? And does anyone have a suggested id for that volunteer bulb?

They are vigorous (a bit too much) here in western Oregon, which is probably colder in winter. I grew mine from wild-collected seed to avoid getting hybrids with the dreaded H. campanulata (Spanish bluebell). The latter was, of course, on this property when I bought it, and I have no more hope of eliminating it than of getting rid of bracken. > > Jane McGary, Portland, Oregon, USA > >>> On 4/10/2020 10:55 AM, Nicholas plummer wrote: >> Hi Rimmer, >> Thanks for the photos.
